"Religion and Myth"

Religion and myth are related ways humans interpret existence. Religion involves organized beliefs and practices centered on spiritual truths, divine beings, and moral codes. Myth consists of traditional stories explaining the world, gods, and human origins; often symbolic and passed down culturally. While myths often serve as foundational narratives in religions, they are not necessarily literal. Religions may incorporate myths to convey moral lessons or spiritual truths, blending storytelling with belief systems. Together, they help societies understand their place in the universe and foster shared identity and values.
