Can we classify religions as myths?

[Rabb Allah]

By default a religion is based upon myth. You have prevailing theories such as the Ritual/Myth theory which are used to give meaning to myth and the rituals and religions that follow it. On a theological note, myth much like the word theory is what is used to classify all religious tales. Myth is not to be mistaken for a derogatory word.

I myself loves mythology but I would never mistaken those myths for reality and form a religion from them.

90% of the world can't distinquish the difference unfortunately.
As our friend says: they go one god too far...

Well, just like the word "spirit" theist have taken the words myth, god and religion and corrupted into something it cannot possibly be. Santa Claus much like god is not a real and literal thing and somehow religious minds try making sense of this.
