Why are religions and myths so similar? Claude Lévi-Strauss’ Structuralism

Why do religions have to explain everything? What are the “structures” that structuralism identifies in myths? Dr. Clint Johnson provides an introduction to Claude Lévi-Strauss' Myth and Meaning, highlighting major ideas from Structuralism and from the book. Don't miss the discussion of arguably what is the most important idea: the 'total' perspective or 'total' worldview of traditional societies (just after the 10 minute mark). This one idea is crucial for understanding the gulf that separates small traditional societies (what used to be called "primitive") from modern western civilizations.
