I'd go Greek. Seems more prevelant then norse... and roman though different... came from greek,(and a little norse.)

Also, don't be surprised when people ruin the thread and take it into a waaaay oftopic religious warfare thread the moment someone votes other and says Christianity.

Why would that be off topic? Christian mythology should be eligible, just like any mythology. Don't think it's the most influential though.

I think Christianity, Islam and other religions are very influential but religion involves faith while mythology does not. So adding religions to the poll about myth is off-topic.

No, the ancient mythologies all were faith-based religions as well.

 

The difference is whether or not people still follow them. For all intents and purposes, Greek, Roman, and Norse mythologies are deceased religions. Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism, Christianity, etc, all may have things as wild and fantastical as the deceased mythologies at times, but they're still widely practiced religions.
