Best question of the day if you ask me,it is after all the same thing isn't it? I guess they didn't want to offend anyone so they put it separately so all the Christians etc can pretend their in any way different than all the religions that came before. But being a Christian is in reality no different than worshiping Zeus.

The difference is grammatical, it's Religion and Spirituality in the 1st person, i.e. what WE believe; it's Mythology and Folklore in the 3rd person, what THEY believe. Simple as that.

Common Sense should tell you that Religion and spirituality is a fact and mythology and folklore is not.

Because most people with religious/spiritual beliefs don't view their beliefs as myths and folklore, but as history and reality

Perhaps because mythology and folklore is for the beliefs that have not been proven incorrect.

Why are there more vocal atheists in Religion and Spirituality than in Mythology and Folklore?

Religion is what people believe in and myth and folklore are just stories.

Religious people don't like to be put in the same section as the extinct religions of the Greeks, etc. Putting them there forces them to realize that their religions will soon be extinct, and that they all follow a pattern of not being true.
