We almost got banned in Greece!?

[geala]

I think I'm not very biased in this case as I don't believe in both of the involved religions.

For me it is more a question of public law. In modern western countries every religion (which is not against the normal laws and human rights) should have the same rights. In the EU (including Greece) that is more or less the case in my opinion. I don't see a difference between the Orthodox Church (or Catholic Church) and that ancient "reenacted" religion.

But that is no answer to the question wether a religion should be allowed to use some public places to celebrate their ceremonies. The state has to balance reasons pro and contra such enterprises. He has to strictly ensure equal treatment. If it is a rule not to allow religious ceremonies at special public places then that rule is correct if every religion is forbidden to do it in the same way. The ancient religion than has no more rights to use ancient religious places than every other religion.

We should be careful not to blame some officials without proper knowledge. As someone occupied with legal affairs I have not enough information to give a substantial vote in that affair.

Edit: @ Vortigern: Sry, normally I noticed it myself that I have forgotten it oops: (happened every time, should make it as signature)
