=Major/Significant Religions= The major religion in ancient Greece was polytheistic which is the belief of many gods.

Most of the Greeks believed that every thing that they did would effect there chance and if they were going to be in great fortune.They also believed that there was more then one plane of realty so that meant that they thought they would go to a place called the under world which was controlled by a god called Hades. The ancient Greeks also had the highest respect for there land because they thought that there were gods controlling every thing, because everything had a god. The Greeks sacrificed animals which was to please the gods and bring luck and good will to there family's.

The Greeks showed the appreciation to show the gods how important they were they built temples in every town for one god or goddess. The temples were not like modern places of worship for ordinary people to pray in. They were homes for statues of god. The temples were mostly used for religious ceremonies and festivals.

=Comparison= The Greeks have may thing in common with modern day realign like how they have many gods like Hinduism and how they have great respect for there land like the aboriginals but a lot of the things they did like sacrifice animals was a bit like cults or like voodooism. It has obviously effected many religions over a large period of time and significantly made an effect in our modern day life.
