Can someone tell me why Christianity hasn't been categorized into mythology yet?

    All mythological beliefs began as religious beliefs which were utilized to explain the unexplainable. However, as humanity progresses, it will garner more technologies which allow it to discover what previously was explained through faulty reasoning and laughable logic. In those respects, why hasn't Christianity been recategorized yet into what it truly deserves to be under it? Now, I am not saying that the Bible isn't a great book that you should read while stoned on a Friday night. I mean, the book is a wonderful read if you're mad with your girlfriend and want to envision them in the situations described in this oh-so-Holy book, but that's all it is. A bunch of stories. It isn't any different from the Iliad by Homer nor any other mythological beliefs out there. Many Christians love to point out that atheists take their book out of context or that they're not supposed to take it literally, when that really just buries their case in its coffin. That's exactly the reason why the Bible, nor the belief that derives itself from that book, should not be used as a means of one's beliefs.

    It's so arbitrary that it will justify anything you do in life if you so wish. This should not dictate any rational person's life and this certainly has no right to dictate a nonbeliever's life through political means. So, please, bury the cross for both Christianity and any other irrational belief. Until something can stand up to the burden of proof like a real theory, you shouldn't be a believer of it -- nor an Agnostic of it. You merely should believe in the default reasoning, which, in this case, is that there is no God because that assertion has not been fortified at all.
