@steve
The point of -all- mythology is to offer an explanation of the human condition. It's senseless to ask if any particular mythology does what they all collectively do. This, ofc, tells us absolutely nothing about whether or not the divine objects of their attention exist beyond the boundary of the story.
I don't think I've ever called it a magic book.
I usually refer to it as "the big book of contradictory fairy tales".
