How are religions different than mythologies?

1.13K viewsOther

Only difference I can find is that there are people who “believe” in religions but almost everyone knows mythologies are just stories. So why don’t religions have the same treatment? They’re essentially the same thing, stories about people who may or may not have existed.

Mythology is a fictional story. Religion will have stories, convictions, rituals, and even laws. The stories in religion usually have a lesson to server as a warning or reinforce an ideal. Some of the stories within the religion are considered factual and other fictional. So it depends on the context. Jews, Christians, and Muslims all believe the story of Noah and the flood. But an atheist most likely would not. None of them believe Santa Claws stories are real, even though may Christian’s will share stories and have traditions/rituals based around the fictitious figure.
