Perhaps this article should be titled 'traditional Malagasy beliefs' and not 'mythology,' since mythology tends to imply that the concepts are fictional, false, or no longer believed.

Also, the indry only lives in one small part of Madagascar so the claim that it is revered everywhere in Madagascar cannot be accurate. Lemurs in general are often revered, as are certain other animals, on the basis of local fady, but we need to locate some kind of a reference to support this assertion. 67.168.101.62 (talk) 16:45, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

From the myth article: "Myth is a folklore genre consisting primarily of narratives that play a fundamental role in a society, such as foundational tales or origin myths. For folklorists, this is very different from the popular use of "myth" simply meaning something that is not true. For folklorists, the truth value of a myth is not a defining criterion." In addition, the article Christian mythology may help allay concerns of a double standard between traditional and Western beliefs. Abeg92contribs 14:37, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Overestimate of prevalence?

There are some surveys, seen on the Religion in Madagascar page, that have the prevalence of traditional beliefs as low as six percent. While I'm not happy at this news, and it is obviously subject to interpretation, time for a rephrase? Abeg92contribs 14:39, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
