Greek Religion is still outlawed in Greece. The persecutions started after 324 AD, when the Emperor Constantine declared Christianity as the only official religion of the Roman Empire.  They have continued unabated throughout history.  Nevertheless, many families in Greece have managed to maintain the religion, despite death penalties, torture, property confiscations and vandalisms. Although the constitution ostensibly safeguards religious freedom, the permit to officially register a religion in Greece is not issued by the state, but by the Orthodox Church.  The church refuses to register any religion that is not an offshoot of Christianity, Judaism or Islam. Christian churches have routinely been built on top of destroyed ancient temples, using the ruins as building materials. This is still going on today.  In northern Greece, at the village Kali Vrisi, 60 km west of the city of Drama, an ancient temple of Dionysus was discovered a few years ago. On the ancient site, and exactly on top of the ruins of the temple, a chapel was erected.
