Mythology is reserved for the historic comments that have been surpassed by employing employing each and every custom. it extremely is folklore and the legends of in the previous. that's the comments that we don't comprehend authors for or the historic previous at the back of them. All all of us be responsive to is they exist and carry to be studied and instantaneous. that's the comments in Norse, Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and distinctive cultures of that era. they're all polytheistic in nature. there's a key element in those concerns. no person debates those being reality. human beings debate Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and so on as being reality. they're religions located upon a course to peace or eternal life. they don't seem to be concerns explaining daily occurences like many of the mythological comments are. no person keeps to be following the likes of Zeus and Anubis, whether persons although and generally will adjust to God.

Religious people don't consider their beliefs myths. Also this section gets 50 times as much traffic as mythology.

because of the connotations of the words... "mythology" has a more "fake, story" feel, while religion feels more like "believable, practiced" i mean, i am strongly, devoutly, LDS, but i know that the two words mean basically the same thing, but i use them to mean two different things

Why are atheists in the religion and spirituality section? What doesn't seem right to one, seems perfectly acceptable to another.
