MODERATORS
And yet it was part of their religion. The fact that other aspects did not survive to the present day does not change that.
Dude. No. Again, you are conflating religion with mythology.
They are seperate things. Religion can exist without mythology and mythology can exist without religion. Some forms of Greek religion, such as ancient Greek paganism, did include mythology as part of their religion but it was not universal.
This "Part of their religion" thing makes even less sense than saying mythology and religion are the same. Not all Greeks shared the same beliefs. There is a reason why we keep saying Greek mythology when we're talking about Greek mythology. It's because we're talking about the mythology. Religion has no relevance here. Please stop confusing the two and throwing them in the same basket.
Not all Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists share the same beliefs. However I guess in your mind those are real religions and those long dead, unable to defend themselves, Romans didn't have a real religion. A guy like you burned down the pagan temples of Rome.
