Truths are demonstrable. If someone says that their religion is true, then they could demonstrate it to others and it would have to hold up to all tests that would prove it false.
Also they would have to renounce their faith, because they would then have knowledge.
"Faith is a cop-out. It is intellectual bankruptcy. If the only way you can accept an assertion is by faith, then you are conceding that it can't be taken on its own merits." - Dan Barker (former preacher)

I dont know if religion can ever be THE TRUTH! IT can be THE TRUTH for you. Thats how religion works. Each religion has the their own ways and practices for their spirituality. There is no one way, but many. Hence the so many different religions. I discovered my religion was right the moment I felt an over whelming sense of Light heartedness and Love, and joy in my heart. It was a realization that changed my life and my way of thinking. Then I knew this is what I must do.

Truth is true all the time it does not change according to whim...2+2=4 and nothing else...
Basically you have to have a teacher who knows and demonstrates that they actually know what they are talking about. Once you find a true teacher your job is to listen to them and take the test to find out if they are telling the truth or just something they think is the truth...the test is: does it work for you?...I could write books about this subject...if you want to have further conversation about it...IM me deburleigh@yahoo.com

I dont believe that my religion is truth(complete). My religion was started some 3000 years ago and I think it is still in the making.

By reading the Bible and asking questions of my Pastor and as many Ministers, Rabbis, Priests, that would give me the time for discussion. Plus I've spent years reading and researching about religion and Faith and have accepted Christ many years ago and still want to be closer to Him and have the knowledge of Faith. I believe in my heart I'm on the right path and everyone has to come to that conclusion on their own. It's a situation of Faith between you and God on a personal level.

It's the other way around, for me. I searched for the truth and found my religion. Answer: lots of reading and self-searching.

I didn't. I discovered that my religion was bogus. That's why I have none anymore. I'm an atheist.

By reading the Bible. Look at John 14:6.

When I was on my deathbed God reached out and healed me. He told me He was going to heal me, and He did. Then He told me that He had a Son who became a man to open the way for me to come back to Him, to provide Pardon for all my mistakes, and to give me the Righteousness of His Son that will make me a part of His Holy Nation throughout Eternity. I believed Him, and it happened just as He said.
He has the power to do all that He says He will. No one else shows that power. I choose to believe God and His Son Jesus Christ.

I compared it to a serious study of the Bible. I first studied who God is and then what He wants from me, and then who Jesus is and what His relation to God is, and then who the Holy Ghost/Spirit is and what His relation to God is. Before I finished that, everything else fell into place. I have studied other topics, and they do not contradict that which I have already learned, in fact they amplify what I have learned.
