Abstract
Orthodoxy, as the main reference point with which to look at other religions and social issues, and the legitimation of a religious discourse to the detriment of a historic approach are the main characteristics of religious education in Greece. Recent liberalization steps include the consent given to non-Orthodox instructors to teach religion and the easing of granting exemptions from religious education to students, thus giving an optional aspect to religion classes; these steps indicate a progressive recognition of religious diversity in schools. There are also increasing trends modifying religion classes towards a more historic approach of teaching religion, but always in an implicit hierarchy with Orthodoxy in the foreground.
