Religion can't be a "myth". Religion is the set of beliefs and practices that people share. And beliefs, whether they be proven true or not, are REAL.

A simple definition of a myth is 'a story handed down through history, often through oral tradition, that explains or gives value to the unknown'

From http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/myth :

a usually traditional story of ostensibly historical events that serves to unfold part of the world view of a people or explain a practice, belief, or natural phenomenon

This fits quite nicely my understanding of most religions. The existance of the clergy is not a myth, alas that part is a hard reality!

IF you know that Supreme being is Truth then why do you call his teachings (Religion) as myth ?

It's what the individual believes. If you need proof than you just don't believe. You can't knok others for having a faith. 98% of our world have a faith. (I know it's hard to believe with all the wars we have). But you're just as bad if you judge without knowing who you are judging.

You don't have to prove something DOESN'T exist. You only have to prove something does exist.

But was that a question?
