Why are dead religious literatures considered "mythology" but those that are still believed in considered "holy texts?"

It all depends whether someone is alive to smack you or not.


You can use dead religious texts to wipe your ass and call them toilet paper if you want.

tfw you unironically have idols of Dionysus and recite the first chorus of the Bacchae while drinking wine, write poetry about him, and in general see him as a diety who helps you create art
>tfw I am also religiously Jewish and feel immense guilt for this

Because History proved that the dead ones did not truly express the Spirit but the living ones still have the potential to be doing so

In academia it's now acceptable to refer to the mythologies of existing religions and treat them the same as any other mythology. But that's because humanities is now becoming as implicitly atheistic as modern science.

>but those that are still believed in
That's your answer.
But I think that certain religions other than the big ones were called mythologies, but anthropologists think that is unfair to the people who believe in it, so I've heard.
I always bother people on /his/ and /lit/ with my pet theory that there's really little difference - if any - between ideology, mythology and religion.

If you look at the political left and right, you'll find that they have their own myths, ideas and lore and so on and so on.

Why guilt?

As long as you don't start some kind of Manson like cult and revert to human sacrifice, you're cool.
