They amount to one and the same thing so why have two separate categories?

they should be.
they are essentially the same thing
actually, religion, folklore and mythology should be together, as they are all the same. religion is unprovable mythology, based on legends and superstition, with the addition of cult rituals, like drinking blood and eating flesh on sundays.
spirituality is something altogether different

They don't want to offend a ton of people I guess.
Remember people who have faith in their religion believe it is the Truth. Calling it Mythology and Folklore would be insulting in their minds.

Religion and spitituality are based on faith, while folklore and myth are based on fiction. Truth lies within the faith of a person, even those who dont beleive in anything.
God bless always.

Because there is absolutely positively NO subtantial proof of Fairies, Elves, Hobbits or literal Trolls, but there is some burden of proof about Jesus, Muhammad and Buddah.

Because there would be such an uproar on Yahoo that it would quickly spread across the media and nation, probably to the US Supreme Court. okay?

ok, theists take up 90% of the world.

Mythology is based on legends and superstition.
God is spirit and real.
