You just underestimate it. I don't know why, but you do. Sure its fading a little bit now, but for a long time it was major... are you trying to DENY that there has been, especially since the sack of Constantinople, a major split between the Orthodox and Catholic churches? Seriously? And you know history?
Sorry, but that's just completely wrong.
Sure, the Greeks care more than the others... but remember, the Greek Orthodox leader is in a way the leader of the Orthodox world, they ARE tied in some ways, and Russia has plenty of reasons to be unhappy that Constantinople fell...
There is still a very real and very, very significant break between the Orthodox religious world and Western Christianity.
