Why do we say Hindu Mythology but not Christian Mythology Or Muslim Mythology?


Seems it is a misunderstanding
Mythology can refer to the collected myths of a group of people—their collection of stories they tell to explain nature, history, and customs—or to the study of such myths
Islamic mythology is the body of traditional narratives associated with Islam from a mythographical perspective.
Christian mythology is the body of myths associated with Christianity.
and we have
Hindu mythology is large body of mythical narratives in Hinduism found in Hindu texts such as the epics like Mahabharata and Ramayana, the Puranas, and the Vedas), Ancient Tamil literature (such as the Sangam literature and Periya Puranam), several other regional literature of South Asia.
As most of the Indian myths are related to Hinduism Indian mythology is almost synonymous for Hindu mythology. Hinduism is a major world religion, or a way of life.
