Why in the world would anyone whine about this? It's a wonderful thing! Perhaps it isn't like public worship rituals in ancient Greece, but all that means is that it isn't being done like the ancient Greeks did it. It doesn't mean it isn't a proper way to honor the Gods.
You'll notice I said "a" proper way, not "the" proper way. I have to believe that the Gods appreciate being honored and that They listen to our hearts and watch our souls rather than our words and ritual actions.
This is a wonderful thing. As a worshiper of the Greek Gods who lives in the United States, I should be more aware that not everyone has the luxury of worshiping as freely as I do. I don't have to worry about losing my job if someone finds out that I'm a Pagan. (My boss knows I'm a Pagan and while he thinks it's a bit odd, he's not going to complain about the religion of the most competent and most reliable employee he has.)
