The U.S. Department of State's 2016 International Religious Freedom Report on Greece, published August 15, 2017, relaying a 2015 poll by the Kappa Research Firm finding 81.4 percent of the population self-identified as Greek Orthodox, 2.9 percent as belonging to other religious groups, and 14.7 percent as atheist.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
The annual U.S. government report on religious freedom conditions in Greece, relaying a named local pollster's figure (Kappa Research Firm) rather than presenting the State Department's own fielded survey; a credible institutional secondary account of a named poll rather than a primary demographic study in its own right. The state.gov original did not return readable text; this citation instead relies on its ecoi.net mirror, the European Country of Origin Information Network's archive of the same document. Citation
