A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes.

A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes.

Summary

This quote implies that a myth holds similar characteristics to a religion, but without the current belief or faith attached to it. It suggests that myths undeniably have elements and narratives that were once embraced and worshiped by a community, functioning similar to religion. However, over time, faith in these myths dwindles, perhaps due to changes in society, culture, or scientific advancements. Consequently, myths may lose their status as viable religious systems, becoming tales that are no longer practiced or part of a collective belief system.
