Religion is a comprehensive system that broadly encompasses mythology, rituals, morality, and mystical experiences, with mythology forming a core narrative component. These myths are sacred stories explaining a community's worldview, often involving supernatural events; while believers view them as "holy scripture," outsiders frequently label them "myths" due to their extraordinary nature, as seen in narratives from various faiths. Definitions of "myth" vary, with some scholars like Robert Graves noting that a story is often termed a myth only if one does not belong to the religion in question. Interestingly, "theology"—a term appearing in the works of Plato and Aristotle—was initially synonymous with mythology and, even today, is fundamentally shaped by and extensively relies on its mythical foundations. If disconnected from its religious system, a myth can lose its sacred relevance and evolve into a mere legend or folktale.
