At least 95 percent of Greek people calm membership in the Greek Orthodox   Church. Until 1054, the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches were one body. Political differences split the churches in two.
      Religious beliefs influence the lives of many Greeks. Their religion is part of  their everyday life. They ask their priest to sprinkle holy water on their land before they do anything to it. Despite  the power religion has over them, they are not churchgoers.
