7. Another defintion is
Edited on Tue Sep-09-03 01:51 PM by Walt Starr
a person or thing having only an imaginary or unverifiable existence.

Since there has never been any verfication for the existance of any of the over 4000 gods that have, at one time or another in human history, been alleged to exist, all gods are myths by definition.

In fact, that single statement is the only factual frame of reference applicable to all religions and the lack of religion and as such, puts all relgions and the lack of religion on equal footing. Without such a frame of reference, some religion or other will claim more or unequal validity.
