The term Allegory is chosen to describe the relationship between religious scripture and the natural universe because it implies the intent on the part of the author to describe one thing (the universe and human morality) by telling a story a story about another thing (god).
It is more generally inclusive than Metaphor, so this wiki will not typically distinguish between them to avoid redundant links.
Interpreting scripture as allegory is the alternative to literalism.
