How are religions different than mythologies?

1.15K 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.

Religion and mythology are not different from each other. They’re tales told through time of heroes and villains, usually with some sort of parable style lesson taught in the moral of the story. Ultimately the difference is wether people still believe they are true or not. If people still claim it as true, they call it religion. If people have been educated out of it as fable, they call it mythology.
