I know! In the religion section everybody spends all their time bashing the sh-t out of each other and over in folklore they all have a good time frolicking in the woods and playing pan-flutes and stuff.

To put it precisely, while religion (in the sense it is understood to day) can be termed a tutored (bordering even on brain-washing), un-understanding, mechanically-ritualistic, non-self experiencing, means to understand world, spirituality has to be on one's own urge to know things in proper perspective. While one can easily become religious, because it just requires joining a band-wagon, it is extremely difficult to become spiritual. While religion invariably includes a God element (though a very few exceptions are there), spirituality need not necessarily contain God, because spirituality assumes that once a person understands universe in its true sense, the god element need not be explained at all. It just dawns. That is why a spiritual person talks very little or nothing about god, which is not a phenomenon to be described, while a religious person may go on describing God as if knew everything about God! All the draw-back of religion will disappear once a person understands religion as one of the means to achieve spirituality. That is while the former is a means, the latter is the goal.

People who frequent mythology allow more room for interpretation than the ones in religion. If you doubt online if satyrs really existed, they don't tell you you're going to spend eternity up to your neck in fresh steaming goat droppings.
The main difference between mythology and religion is how much its followers are currently involved in politics.

In about 1000 years, this section will become the myth and folklore section!

The difference between the two is the number of people who believe it to be the truth.

People aren't as angry when others dis their myths in folklore?
They're also more honest over there - and call a spade a spade.

Your question gets asked in this section once a day. There it doesn't.

I think
Religion is set of simple rules dealing with sins and heaven. Eg:Islam. Hinduism
Spirituality is like questioning the god, understanding the god, understanding oneself, realising god and more.
Eg: Hinduism, Bhuddism.
Mythology is like stories about god, which might be fiction.
Eg: Epics of Hinduism. and stories in christianity
