=== Use of the words 'Myth', 'Mythology', etc. ===Donald Bankhead

The word 'Myth' has several meanings in the English language.  Probably the best place to find out these meanings is to consult [http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=myth a dictionary].  One meaning, roughly, has it that a myth is "a story that express the religion, beliefs and morals of a culture" and another meaning is roughly "a story that is false or made-up".  The boundary between the two meanings is unclear.

I support Option 3. It allows for remaining neutral about religion, without making any distinction. Another option suggested redirects, and I think they could be applied so people can still find what they are looking for. [[User:Aroni125|Aroni125]] 20:47, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
