I would differentiate mythology and religion.
Mythology are stories we create to help propagate cultural memory: concepts, lessons, teachings, etc.
Religion is our attempt to describe the ineffable truth of our existence. Words always fail to do so. Yet we try to articulate these concepts through words nonetheless because that is easier and more scalable than teaching everyone the necessary mental/physical practices to return to that way of being which grants awareness of it.
quotingAlmost all cultures seem to independently develop a form of mythology (religion)

Why is it so? Is it because humans are aware of death and so to cope we make afterlife myths?
Is it because we sense a greater power and all attempt to articulate it in some way?
Or we find patterns, attribute to God, then get fooled by randomness?
Why is the belief so powerful it leads people to both the most beautiful and despicable acts?
