In Eliade's view, believing in the divine foundations of life transforms the significance of natural objects and activities. Like Rudolf Otto, Eliade held that the study of Religion must not reduce its subject matter to something merely social or psychological, but must take seriously the idea that in the believer's world the experience of sacredness defines a distinctive reality. In his approach, myth is not merely fiction or folktale but the powerful words and stories that recount the actions of gods and founders and the guidelines they set down for human life. In this sense, myth describes not what is simply fantastic but what is most real, naming the spiritual forces that established the world and that continue to permeate it. Religion has its own language to describe the spiritual order of the universe, just as science has its descriptions of the physical world.
Religious people aspire to live in the time of divine origins.
Ritual times and places create opportunities for religious people to come into contact with the sacred and its regenerative power. Based on Eliade's notions, we understand why hundreds upon thousands of many Other Religion, besides the ones we have mentioned-above, exist today in the whole World.
