as we do on Greek mythology?

The evidence suggests that you are right. In 4,000 years, today's religion is tomorrow's myth.

Mythology and religion both try to imbue human existence with external meaning or purpose, however implausible and contrary to all objective evidence. Such mystical believe-systems, although completely unsupported by facts or evidence, appeal to many persons. They conjure a reason for living out of thin air by creating an imaginary god who may or may not bestow his imaginary favors upon them.

Religion charges persons with imagined sins; it burdens people with guilt and superstition. It then urges them to pray to a non-existent god in order to absolve themselves from sins they did not commit. This method is clearly counterproductive to the attainment of happiness and joy in life.

The search for a meaning in life is analogous to medical quackery because we are allowing superstition and inefficacious conduct to usurp our rational means of dealing with our environment.
