The Euopean Court has ruled against Greece this week for requiring a lawyer to divulge his religious beliefs in order to take the oath in his admission ceromony to the state bar. (Athens News Friday 7th March 2008.)
Legal Court rulings are one of the few forums where precedents are truly set. This landmark decision by the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Alexandrididis vs Greece (application number 19516/2006) will definitely make it much easier for others in the legal and other professions to follow suit. It will mean that people will not have to state their religious beliefs in what are clearly state matters.
Further information and a weblink for the full Athens News article will be posted on the Greek Gods Legal website in a week or so from now. Anybody who is interested in the legal problems facing followers of Hellenic Polytheism in Greece (sometimes over stated; and sometimes under estimated) should go to the Greek Gods Legal website at www.greekgodslegal.co.uk.
