I like what I have read and agree with most of his points and only hope that future Greek leaders share these views.
On the point of religion, I don't think it is Religion per se that is the problem, rather the Church, specifically the Patriarchate as mentioned, which was perhaps the single largest contributor to the tragic history of the Macedonians at the hands of the Greeks. I make the distinction, and emphasize it, between the Religion and the Church; many Churches are no longer (some have not been for a very, very long time, centuries even) religious institutions, not in the true sense of the word anyway.
