A myth is any worldview-based traditional story, collection or study. It is derived from the Greek word mythos (μύθος), which simply means "story". Mythology can refer either to the study of myths, or to a body or collection of myths. Since the term "myth" is widely used to imply that a story is not objectively true, the identification of a narrative as a myth can be highly controversial.
Many adherents of religions view their own religions' stories as truth and so object to their characterization as myth, the way they see the stories of other religions. As such, some scholars label all religious narratives "myths" for practical reasons, such as to avoid depreciating any one tradition because cultures interpret each other differently relative to one another. Other scholars avoid using the term "myth" altogether and instead utilize different terms like "sacred history", "holy story", or simply "history" to avoid placing pejorative overtones on any sacred narrative.
Such views are often endorsed by secular and religious authorities and are closely linked to religion or spirituality. (Full article...)
