Category:Artificial mythology

Artificial mythology refers to modern works of fiction that use mythical themes such as The Lord of the Rings, Final Fantasy and others. They are not considered a mythology due to the fact that readers of such works do not view the mythical figures in the book as gods and figures to worship. That contrasts with a formal mythology, whereas the believers of, for example, Shiva in the Hindu mythology, worship him as their god and sincerely believe in it's teachings.
