Which religion? Most religions- such as those followed by the Romans, Ancient Greeks and Egyptians- are considered myths today, because nobody or few people believe them anymore. Eric is suggesting that today's religions are not supported by any more evidence than these ancient religions, in other words they are also fictional stories.
