For the record I agree completely that the connotations of \\\"myth\\\" are derogotory when applied to \\\'\\\'any\\\'\\\' religion. But ClassicalMythology and NorseMythology and so on are such widely used names and we don\\\'t really have any alternatives to them. I think trying to replace the whole word \\\"myth\\\" with some other term is a lost cause. Better to just push for equal treatment of all religions, gently explain the meaning of the word, and suspend people who insist on starting edit wars over it.
Also, it\\\'s worth noting that a religion (as practiced and/or believed) \\\'\\\'is\\\'\\\' distinct from the stories told within/from the worldview of that religion, even when telling those stories is a religious practice.
