2017 Report on International Religious Freedom: Greece

The United States State Department's 2017 Report on International Religious Freedom covering Greece is a primary government document, an official annual assessment required by American law, compiled from embassy reporting, meetings with religious communities and government officials, and public sources within the reporting year. Its authority is that of a systematic, congressionally mandated survey with a consistent methodology applied across every country it covers, useful for facts about legal status, registration requirements and reported incidents affecting religious minorities in Greece that year. As a foreign government's assessment of another country's internal religious affairs, it necessarily reflects American legal categories and diplomatic priorities in what it chooses to emphasize, and Greek domestic legal and religious sources are the better complement for how Greek institutions themselves understand the same questions.
