Well... first of all... I live in Romania, a former communist country and I know for sure that all the myths of Christianity didn't give rise to Communism, because Communism tried hard to kill any kind of religious beliefs. Communism was against God and religion. It's called materialism. Regarding other myths, like the Indian ones... I don't see any reason not to study them at least. They are beautiful stories about universal values. You don't necessarily have to believe in them in order to appreciate their beauty, even if you are a New Age adherent who believes that Gaia (Gaea) is the living mother of all beings on this Earth... which I believe too, at some extent.

God's existence came about long before any Indian existed on the face of this earth. Also from reading some of these answers, some of these people believe that God exist only as a means of self-indulgent. Well people you thinking incorrectly, how can I say that , it because of my own connection and relationship with The one and only true God. God, is in all of mankind no matter how you feel about it, because he is our Creator, and no can create a thing and not leaving a piece of yourself in it.But I am so very sure that anyone prayers can be answered if you pray in the correct manner. And that is one of mankind's major problems is that they just don't know how to pray and all mankind has to do is read their bible and it will tell you how to do it. I am sorry that many of you Ladies & Gentleman, do not have my faith, but God, did promise that you will know him and that I do know is a very true statement.

For thousands of years, man has been searching the real truth of his existence, trying to know himself, trying hard to find the real source of his existence. Our Rishis have contributed a lot in this directions. They were just like today's scientists or researchers who are responsible for finding solutions to existing queries in their respective fields. As today we believe on every theory of our scientists or economists, we must and should respect the theories of our Rishis who spent hundreds of years in finding the truth.
As far as the concept of devil is concerned, one may take it just as symbolic to all the ill wills that one can get into the trap of it which is the main hurdle for the mankind to get himself free from the bondages. The main purpose of the mankind, having the highest level of consciousness, is to become free from the bondages of karmic results to achieve Salvation. The main hurdles for the mankind in achieving Salvation are (1) Angry (2) Lust (3) Greed (4) Passion (5) Ego (6) Egotism (7) Fear (8) Jealous (9) Suspicion, which obstructs the path of a man from achieving Salvation.
Basically, the concept of "devils" represents above mentioned characterstics. Our Rishis might have thought that all the man kind on this earth cannot be of the same brilliance and intelligence and therefore they cannot be taught in most high-tech way and therefore they would have developed the concept of the pictures depicting all the nine foes in one figure which would have finally termed as "Devil". Even a small child can be taught with the help of pictures.
Devil is nothing is a concept which shows that even the most powerful or the strongest person on this earth, if having the above mentioned characterstics, bound to ruin himself in the hands of the supreme power (GOD). Bhasmasur, Hirankashyap, Hirankshya, Ravan, Kans etc. are the examples.
The irony of this country is that those so called "Learned or Literates" of our society are not educated in terms of Indian education. The education which we are having for last 150 years are based on the British education system. Britishers (for 150 years) and the Muslims rulers in India (for 1500 years) deliberately destroyed our education system just to cut our roots. Takshshila University and the Nalanda Universities were the two main universities of India (an assets of India) where foreign students used to come here to learn Indian studies - Vedas, Upanishads etc. Veda are not simple rituals but very high tech studies covering all the branches of life - whether it is
medicine or defense or economy or the engineering part - civil, mechanical etc. besides making a man real rock from inside morally, ethically and spiritually like Pandavas.

Myth or Mythology ! Communism or Communalism ~ I think, you are bit confused.
The fight between good and evil ~ is the real motto of the mythological stories. People- theologians, money makers,zealots have often distorted the facts and transformed 'innocent' people into fanatic & vengeful killer to the end.
If you are a real "intellectual", then you should combat all the vices mentioned above.

You see, your opinion differs from others opinion. but what i believe is that we should believe in the myths about God, because some of them aren't actually myths, but they really happened. believing in God will make us have some fear when we are doing wrong things. so, it is better to believe in a religion than to think that we should pray to mother earth.

the existence of God and devil is as true as your own existence some body's belief or non-belief is in no way nullifies the truth. but the fact is that most of the so called elite generation is influenced by the corrupted thoughts which compels them to be blind folded in seeking and believing the truth!

nicely - there's a rationalization for God arising devil. you already know - to maintain the yin & Yang of issues in stability. yet he needless to say had some too many Gin & Tonics whilst he got here up with Republicans... -- in basic terms think of of what the international may well be like if God hadn't hadn't enjoyed his cocktails somewhat too lots..

mother earth is to shallow when u understand the meaning of life
we all live by our shadow that is our mind ,which actually does not exist.this prevents us from accessing our real self.that is bliss.omce u sample that u wont talk what u do now.
we create our own hell or heaven,thru our mind.
the solution is to be aware
and meditate

LOL @ your bit about "communism" - you are more than a little mistaken there...
Seriously, though, people should be allowed to believe whatever they want to believe, so long as they don't break the law of the land they are living in.
