::::As a Norse Pagan, I would actually be in favor of merging all spiritual/religious/mythological references together. HOwever, as I said on the Norse References page, I feel that ''all'' of it - the Judeo-Christian references included - should be put under the umbrella of "Mythological References". One persons religion is another person's mythology, and it's unfair to label one as "religion" because it's popular and the other "myth" because it's a minority. We should also only put in the things that are solid and evident; none of this "Tsavo Highway ''might'' be a reference to the highway mentioned that one time in Revelation!"[[User:Ocean Soul|Ocean Soul]] ([[User talk:Ocean Soul|talk]]) 21:41, 3 November 2015 (EST) | ::::As a Norse Pagan, I would actually be in favor of merging all spiritual/religious/mythological references together.

The word "myth" by definition isn't necessarily meaning something is false, only one of it's definitions indicates this. However in context of "mythology", every religion contains myths but being a myth does not mean that they are false. It's entirely possible for something to be a myth yet actually true. Also, whether something is solid or evident is fairly subjective and arguable. Tsavo Highway is in my view a perfectly acceptable entry, it isn't | The word "myth" by definition isn't necessarily meaning something is false, only one of it's definitions indicates this.
