Then in some way, we are in agreement. Science cannot say anything meaningful about things that don’t affect reality. Religion (or theology) concerns itself with the reason that reality exists.

The purview of science is limited to phenomena that can be observed or experienced. The purview of religion (specifically theology) is that which cannot be explained by science (now or ever)

All religions have a creation myth, but religion cannot be reduced to just the creation myth. That would just be deism which is basically a form of atheism. Religions believe that supernatural forces actually affect the world.
