Yes, yes, it should, because myself am a pagan and believe in myth and some folklore, in time all things will come to an end including major religions and christianity shall become one of those mythologys as well as judism, islam, and everything.

Well, most people are going to say no, but I think that someday it will be. Wether we like it or not, sooner or later the things that we believe will no no longer be around and something new will take over, and our religion will be considered myth and folklore....to that distant future group of people, Just as it was for the Greeks and romans. To them their religion was not myth or folklore but to us it is....so what's to say that someday people won't vew us as people who beleived in some pretty crazy things. I do agree with what was stated by another answer the only difference between religion and myth is how many people follow and beleive in them....and there is really no more proof of either....it is all in how many put their faith into what the beleive.

Yes and No. While those storied called a Myth are considered to be untrue now, the only real difference in those stories and the ones currently Active, deemed "religion", are the numbers of those who believe/follow them. They all have the exact same amount of proof validating them.
While Folklore occasionally does have some truth in it, the amount of legend and usually makes it to be considered in the same category as Myth.

Not at all. Mythology and folklore are considered pretty much like stories and fables. They were used to explain what people didn't understand. Religion and spirituality are a belief in a higher power. You'll insult many with your insinuation.

No please. Not at all. Infact this should be split into 1. Religions. 2. Spirituality. Kindly look in any dictionary to find the meanings of the words like folklore...Folklore and the like is not at all the Religion in any culture.

No, by doing so it implies that religion & spirituality are myths or folklore which they are not. Why do non-believers continue to attack religions to the point it seems obsessive? Are you afraid we're right? Have you ever heard of live and let live?

probably - however, religion and spirituality is "generally accepted" stories and beliefs that are derived from mythology and folklore. mythology and folklore are stories and beliefs yet to be "acknowledged and accepted". now from your viewpoint (and mine) who is it they says what is real and not? isn't that what this is all about in the first place?
great question - thanks for inspiring me to look and think at my fav subject differently.
