You're right, mythology does not evolve into religion. Religion does, however, eventually become mythology.
Made a mistake. Meant the other way around, lol.
But point still stands. Mythology is one possible component of religion. Christianity (in the broadest sense of the word), for example, is a religion that includes the mythology of Christianity (i.e., the stories found in the Bible and traditional extra-biblical stories).
