Zeus et. al. poised to make a comeback

Ellinais, or the Sacred Society of Greek Ancient Religionists, has begun holding prayers to Athena (ancient Greek goddess of knowledge) and is protesting the Greek governments moving of statues from the Acropolis to modern museums. The ancient Greek religion was apparently made illegal in the fourth century, however police did not prevent the practitioners from holding their prayers.

The practitioners even claimed some divine evidence of their ceremony:

“Is it a coincidence that rain started falling when the ceremony started and ended at the same time as the ceremony? I think not,”

However, one could just as easily claim that the Christian God was pissed after being upstaged some 1700 years later.

The ceremony featured some 200 practitioners. It appears the atheists can no longer use the "no one believes in Zeus anymore" argument.
