I'm not an expert in anciant Egyptian culture, but
if the Egyptian mythology was used in the manner I described, then it
does qualify as a religion.
I think the question would be: why
is it called "mythology"
??? Because the monotheistic religions put that label on it, to classify it as something beneath them?
We're just talking about
words here. I think "mythology" is the thing that "religion" is usually based on.
