This coming week people in the USA will enter the “season of myths” that runs from Thanksgiving through various religious holidays, including Christmas. Of course, to call Thanksgiving, let alone Christmas, a “myth” will alarm, anger, or alienate some people. But “myth” is a crucial category when trying to catch “sightings” of religion within the flux of society and culture. Myth is an interpretive tool for articulating and analyzing the structure of a people’s lived reality, past or present, rather than a fanciful untrue story. In this service I’ll explore the myths of Thanksgiving.
