Mythology today is hard to define - it used to mean stories about gods, but today word "myth" is usually used as a synonymous to lie and that's why religions don't like to be defined as believing in myth, but on the other hand they also don't care about historical validity, don't like evidence; so like with most things concertinaing religion "It's better not to speak about it."
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
