What I hate about growing up Christian…

Y’know what I hate about growing up Christian? Or even just growing up in a Christian dominated country? I didn’t know that people believed in polytheistic religions, because it was so engrained in my head that those were mythologies and therefore myths. I didn’t even know the bible was also considered mythology until I was 21. I had been molded to believe that Christianity was real, not myths, but polytheistic religions were not. I wanted to believe in ancient mythologies for a long time because let’s be real, they’re just… wonderful, in their own right; but I was so far convinced that the idea of Greek mythology or Egyptian mythology was just tales from ancient people that had died out forever ago.

We never really died out. We just exist in the shadow of the Abrahamic religions.
