I agree. But I commented because there is a significant overlap between the two. For Indian mythology, many, many people believe that their Gods are historical characters, too. And I have seen plenty of non-zealous, non-fundamentalist, hatredless, kind people who believe in this way, and the peace they derive from it to see it as fully bad. I know the other side of the coin, too. But you should know that such people exist. I read some basic "Bible for Kids" kinda stuff before it, but the first time I felt something for Jesus Christ was through the novel Ben Hur. When fiction and living religion is mixed in a good way, with zero ill-intent, the differences fade to a significant degree.
