Actually I think Myths are just religions that have lost all their believers. The religions of the ancient civilizations had plenty of philosophy behind them. In some cases it was only the economic collapse or conquest by armed force that ended the religion. I doubt if a follower of Mithras would be any less offended by you calling his faith a myth than a modern Xtian would be.

The religion without philosophy is only a religious experience. Many people practice this kind of religious behaviour, but this practice is not diferenced from practicing football, a hobby... I mean, the religious experience without philosophy and theology has no content. The meaning of religion is to foresee the relation between a man and God everytime. That means that the religion (revelation + philosophy + theology) in its own meaning has a content. The religious experience by itself can mantain a person for a time, but would never answer trascendental questions. That's why the religions based in the control of the behaviour, in the missplacing of pain, and in the mind control has many acceptance but all the members soon become former members. Jesus attacked this behaviour in every moment of his life on earth, specially to some acts of some people that belonged to the temple of Jerusalem.
PS: sorry for some terms, I am not an english speaker, and study philosophy in spanish...
PS2: a kind of dangerous group based on the mind control and the control of other's behaviour could be found in the actual Opus Dei, where I belong for 10 years. I mean "actual" because its original rules where unvoluntary changed for the actual directors... many people doesn't know why. But it's a problem recongnized by the Opus Dei itself and doesn't know how to turn around and become a "moral religion" again. The PS found the example in Opus Dei, because the actual OD is a kind of religion without philosophy.

I am cool, don't worry :) I am afraid I do not agree. Religion is from Allah and philosophy is from the human mind. The human mind was created by Allah. The created cannot add to the Creator :)
Be cool now and tell me what do you think? I wonder how many people will thumb my answer down? I got used to it any way.
Peace

A philosophy is derived from your world-view. You can have a religion without philosophy. But you can't have a philosophy without religion.
