rewriting the bible part 2 - exodus

[The Inquisition]

All these constructs I've mentioned have different functions. For example, it is Myths themselves that provide for a religious experience, which in turn can enhance or alter a person's perceptions of self and self-worth. Fiction does not provide those functions. Myths facilitate the creation and persistence and even transformation of culture; thus largely accounting for the diversity in the world today. Fiction can not provide a comparable function to this.

I think that that's an awfully broad brush you just painted with that statement, I think the Lord of The Rings; for example, can fulfill all of the functions you associated with myth.
