Why doesn't it count if the mythology is what the author actually believes? What trope covers that then?

I don't think it's a trope at all. There's a roughly infinite number of authors in human history who believed in some mythology or other.
But you might try to take the discussion to Lost And Found or the Trope Talk
forum.
Thank you for answering. There may a large number of creators who believed in a religion or mythology but most of their works don't directly show it being true, so that brings the number of works where A Mythology Is True and the author believes it down to a pretty manageable size. The restriction that the author can't actually believe it isn't in the name of the trope or essential to the idea of it, so this seems like an artificial and unnecessary limitation and this is an important tope as it defines the nature of it's setting. I will take this discussion to the places you recommend as I would like to see this fixed somehow.
What? If it is a true religion it is this trope if it is an invented religion it isn't this trope?
Can you just explain what the trope is?
