Overview

Religion and mythology differ but have many areas of commonality. Both terms refer to systems of concepts that are of high importance to a certain community, making statements concerning the supernatural or sacred. Generally, mythology is considered one component or aspect of religion. Religion is the broader term: besides mythological aspects, it includes aspects of ritual, morality, theology and mystical experience. A given mythology is almost always associated with a certain religion such as Greek mythology with ancient Greek religion.
