    A myth is an organized story, stories or tales by which humans explain their beliefs and history. Broadly speaking myths and mythologies seek to rationalize and explain the universe and all that is in it.

    Myths are generally narratives passed down traditionally intended to explain the universal and local beginnings natural phenomena, inexplicable cultural conventions, and anything else for which no simple explanation exists.

    No, they should not be blended. a minimum of, no longer till or till 80 5% of the international is atheist. as quickly as that occurs, if it occurs, valuable. yet thinking the undeniable fact that atheism is a minority concept, for sure faith and spirituality can not be merged with myth and folklore, by using fact human beings nonetheless have self belief in faith and spirituality. And BTW, i'm fairly valuable it somewhat is a eating question.

    It's the same as the difference between DIY and physics.

    Spirituality is applied folklore. Religion is institutionalised mythology.

    I think,

    spirituality is different from the other three,

    because it is independent, verifiable, logical and rational;

    especially the way of the meditation,

    one just needs to work on it.

    Most of religions do have spiritual portion in them,

    but i do not think the myth and folklore have it.

    That's what you think.

    If you want to separate yourself from the group you have mentioned, you will have to display a little more insight.
