- Yeah, given that no DWU sources have come out and said that God belongs to the realm of mythology, this dab term is editorial at best and insensitive at worst. Mary (mythology) is a similar example. It probably wouldn't be hard to come up with a better dab to replace (mythology) on these pages as well as Zeus (mythology) et al. Maybe something as simple as (religion)? – n8 (☎) 21:39, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
