Particularly loudly, if the mythology in question denies my eventual evolution into something less hairy....

I have difficulty sympathizing when you choose to attack caricatured beliefs that are not even held by the majority of mainstream adherents or even mainstream denominations' clergy and leadership.
I also have the pleasure of coming from a country where atheism was the officially supported state religion for decades... so I'm sure you'll understand why I have as little enthusiasm for it, as you do for functional and still (whether for better or worse) relevant forms of spirituality that you call "mythology" in order to purposefully malign by unorthodoxly closely associating it with beliefs that are near-universally considered outmoded.
Quite apart from the above though, I still think you're great and continue to look forward to your posts on a wide variety of topics in the future.
