Page "Religion and mythology" Paragraph 44
from
Wikipedia
" Many Christians have objected to my use of this word even when I define it specifically.
They are terrified by a word which may even have a slight suggestion of fantasy.
However, my usage is the one that is common among historians of religion, literary critics, and social scientists.
It is a valuable and helpful usage ; there is no other word which conveys what these scholarly traditions mean when they refer to myth.
The Christian would be well advised to get over his fear of the word and appreciate how important a tool it can be for understanding the content of his faith.
