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).
Your point is understood completely. And yet you're still missing my point because you're too worried about arguing semantics.
How are we defining religion, though, in this thread? Are we excluding rituals and doctrines then? If we are, then the point changes.
But then, at what point since its conception has it ever not been mythology? It seems most who have posted here are saying that, currently, the Christian stories are not considered at this point mythology? Or am I misunderstanding again?
