Answer 1

Religion is practiced. Mythology is a religion that used to be practiced.

Why isn’t hinduism a mythology even though it’s so old? Because they never stopped practicing hinduism.

But what if you started practicing Greek god worship? That’s neo-paganism. The original religion died off and was no longer practiced, but since it was rediscovered new (neo) people started to practice it again and it became a neo-pagan religion
