Do Greeks still worship the 12 Olympian gods and goddesses?

Like, I know they did it in ancient Greece, but what about today? Are there any Greeks here who can answer this?

Update:

When you say "no, MOST people are blahblahblah"....does that mean there ARE some people that do?

    No, most greeks belong to the Greek Orthodox church (a religion that broke away from Roman Catholicism many centuries ago).

    Last summer, the worship of ancient Greek myths was legalized, despite vehement protests by the Greek christian cult.

    They didn't like the idea of competing for money with other religions, especially not ones older than theirs.

    Most are Orthodox Christians. BTW...there was no "Roman" Catholicism in 1054 A.D. when the Great Schism occurred. It was just One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church...like the Creeds say.

    All Bishops were equals...with the Bishop of Rome being "the first amongst equals"

    Im sure there are a few Europeans(do they have to be Greek?) who acknowledge the Greek pantheon. I acknowledge the Greek, Egyptian and Sumerian pantheons and i live in the bible belt of Texas

    It's hard to say, but you know what they say, a myth is just a religion that know one actually believes in anymore.
