Mythological religions began long before Judaism or Christianity. Over the centuries the number of Mythological religions faded away. There once were thousands of Mythological religions in the world. The Norse gods with Thor as their leader, and Roman Gods and Greek Gods. Every continent at one time or another worshiped Mythological Gods.
Religion and mythology differ in scope but have overlapping aspects. Both are systems of concepts that are of high importance to a certain community, making statements concerning the supernatural or sacred. Generally, mythology is considered one component or aspect of religion. Religion is the broader term: besides mythological aspects, it includes aspects of ritual, morality, theology, and mystical experience. A given mythology is almost always associated with a certain religion such as Greek mythology with Ancient Greek religion. Disconnected from its religious system, a myth may lose its immediate relevance to the community and evolve—away from sacred importance—into a legend or folktale.
