For me, it shows more as a metaphor of religion. Many of these myths are not intended to be taken as literal truths, but as stories that resonate with particular human experiences.
I personally believe that the real message of these myths is that if religion is used for power-games, it becomes corrupted, goes mad, turns evil. The “God” in the stories is not literally a supernatural being - it is just an aspect of human nature, represented as a metaphor.
I am sure I don’t explain this clearly. I am not a scholar of mythology, I am sorry. But for many Sebiestor where I come from, myths are not considered literal truths, but they are still true, in this way.
