Athens and Midlands has no official religion in terms of the Government, as the current prime minister is stuck between Islam and Hinduism. However, no religions are banned there. The majority religion is the Midlands Traditionalist Greek, which originates from Ancient Greece and accounts for 54 percent of the population, but is modified to exclude sacrifices, which is considered as murder. The next relgion is Hinduism, which accounts for 20 percent.
