291. Lookit...
When the ancient Greeks built temples to Zeus and Athena and then held solemn rites therein, it was just as much a religious experience as what you might find in Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, etc. Yet we are taught in our Christ-centric schools to refer to "ancient Greek mythology" rather than "ancient Greek religion".

Well, turnabout is fair play. If Christians want their belief system to be referred to as a religion rather than mythology, they'll have to start referring to Zeus worship as a religion on an equal basis with their own.
