Religion and Mythology have surprisingly little to do with each other. Yo can know all of the stories of the ancient Greek/Roman gods and heroes that make up what we usually call "Classical Mythology" and not have a clue about when to sacrifice to Zeus/Jupiter.

Even if you look at the more familiar Christian Bible if you extract a "mythology" from it you've got "Bible stories". Religious philosophy and requirements of the faith are a significant step beyond that while Theology is not so big on exactly how tall Goliath was.

So, nope. An expert in mythology needs no Theology Skil.
