it's about language use/ consciousness raising. to not use authoritative words that give theism power like "tradition","faith","account", "religion", etc etc instead to use "myth", "mythology", etc
that way, especially if you are talking to theists you are not giving the other side the aura of credulity
I prefer to use "fairy tale" when tailking about the religious stories, they do the same job and contain the same amount of "fact".
