Why are pagan Gods considered myths but not Abrahamic Gods?

Because Abrahamic religion has yet to figure out that myths != falsehoods.

The word myth means story. Now, despite that doesn't mean that myths are literal reports, they can provide you with important tools to make sense of the world around us. The fact that myths have survived for so long proves this

Abrahamic religions are full of revisionists who want you to think that pagan religions were just myth.

Pagans did not believe in myth though. Their "mythology" was religion to them, just like how the Abrahamic "mythology" is a religion to them. They made the distinction to:

1) give their own religion more weight
2) prevent people from comparing them under the lens of "myth" because that instantly exposes which one is inferior (Abrahamic mythology is garbage compared to pagan)

Why do our education systems teach our kids that they are "mythology" then? I thought religion was supposed to be removed from the school systems.

I counted at least four.

Liberal Christians usually refer to the Old Testament as mythology.

Pick 1. New Testament is work of the jews.

That's not a simple process. The influence of any system of thought, especially one that lasted for over two thousand years, is going to become deeply ingrained in the psyche. It has affected the development of our languages, philosophies, sciences, etc. "The shadow of God" as Nietzsche puts it will linger "in caves" for possibly millenniums after God's death.

Are you being retarded on purpose?

Because roman and Greek mythology is a kernel within western civilisation. The "seperation" meme is one of the most complicated , misunderstood and abused facets of American culture. It never meant absence of religion, just absence of a state religion.
