		Even though Greek Orthodox Christianity subscribes to the Nicene-Constantinopolitan creed and to the doctrinal decisions of ecumenical synods, and at the face may appear very conservative, if not stifling, the truth is that in practice there is in Greek Orthodoxy a tremendous variety of religious expression and freedom, similar to that of ancient Greece.
		It is fashionable even among Greek Orthodox theologians to criticize this infiltration, the rational element and the academic arguments in Orthodox theology, and instead to stress either the simplistic biblical, or the mystical and the ritualistic approach.

		True, Greek anthropological thought is based on opposite pairs (Greek/ Barbarian, citizen/ agroikos, hot/cold and so on); and in some Latin writers, we may be misled by descriptions of "Levantines" which remind us more recent situations, and give a false impression of continuity in the western construction of the East, from the Classics on down.
