Someone already mentioned that Koine Greek is the ecclesiastical
language of the Greek Orthodox Church and they still use it actively.
Maybe there aren't as many people in the GOC as in the Catholic church
(by a long shot), but I think it still counts for something.

Not remotely. Ancient Greek is fossilized. Late Egyptian would be a
