I know I'm late on this hot take but Dear Evan Hansen is totally another metaphor for religion isn't it Evan's speech in "You Will Be Found" is almost literally the story of the founding of a religion based on a myth that didn't actually happen

Yeah - and the context is also highly variable. Myths walk a line of being not-lies but also not-facts, so that people who insist that they can only be read as accounts of real events, or *false* accounts thereof, usually end up talking about the wrong things.

This whole concept is why the DEH fandom is so obsessed with the idea of Evan and Connor actually meeting and falling in love in an alternate timeline even though the whole point of the show is there's no reason to think that would've ever happened
