An atheist group in Greece is suing to remove icons from court rooms on the grounds that they represent a bias against the non religious who appear in court. The group has appealed to the European Court On Hunan Rights. The Greek government appears to be fighting it.
As the government should. The Greek legal system runs on civil law, not religious law. The presence of icons reflects the Greek nations Orthodox faith and history. This is not a theocracy.
As in the United States, secular groups simply want to impose their views on the rest of society. Atheists have the right to their beliefs but tolerance is a two way street. Most Greeks are Orthodox and Orthodoxy has played a role in shaping Greek history. The atheists should be ignored.
