They are the same thing, just a different label. I suppose the only real difference is that mythology can be about anything, just a belief that it existed without any proof. Religion is that but you worship or revere the object or person. Still without any proof of existence.

Is your recent religion a mere mythology in the near future?

Don't confuse mythology with religion. Religion is the set of rites and practices and core beliefs. Mythology is the collected stories and folklore associated with a belief system. My religion can't become mythology, but the folklore and literature (i.e. the Bible) associated with it can. It could be argued that stories like that of Adam and Eve, or Noah and the Flood, are Judeo-Christian mythology.
