 | | Some use the words "myth" and "mythology" to portray the stories of one or more religions as false, or dubious at best. |
 | | By extension, many people do Not regard the tales surrounding the origin and development of religions like Christianity, Judaism and Islam as literal accounts of events, but instead regard them as figurative representations of their belief systems. |
 | | For the purposes of this article, therefore, the word Mythology is used to refer to stories that, while they may or may Not be strictly factual, reveal fundamental truths and insights about human nature, often through the use of archetypes. |
