There is a famous expression that suggests there are many paths to the top of the mountain. When it comes to religion, many people find their own way to express spirituality. So is absolute truth a reality?

Yes, absolute truth is a reality. There may be many paths to the top of the mountain, but they all ultimately lead to the same place.

Ah what fun we can have here. If AT was a reality - then reality would have to be more absolute to encompass it. If truth can be less than absolute, then it is not truth. Thus, as you sagely suggest, the question becomes, Is there an Absolute?
Yes. We call the Absolute by the term God.

One absolute truth? Well physicists like Hawking are working towards a unified theory that will explain all physical phenomena.
If I tell you I am a woman but in fact I am a man. Which I am.The fact I am a man is an absolute truth. So at the moment there is not one single truth we can prove only lots of little ones and lots of ideas which through reason alone and probable chances we can suppose to be false. Like God*
* like you were'nt wanting for me to say that?

Expression of spirituality has nothing to do with absolute truth. The expression either conforms to the truth or not. Any person who claims that truth is not absoulte has contradicted his or herself as he or she has just made an absolute statement. Two plus two equals four. This is absolutely the truth. Anyone who disagrees is irrational.

"Reality" is an event or structure that exists outside of ones mind.
"Existence" is that which takes up time and/or space. All that exsists is not neccessarily real. Reality is very difficult to experience. "Absolute Truth" is questionable because there MUST be a human agreement for a "Truth" to be shared.
I hope "Absolute Truth" is real, i have not experienced it, though.

Descartes had a theory about what is true and what is false. Basically he doubted everything that existed even himself. During the middle of his argument he proved that he does exist. He said, "I think, therefore i am." Even though he hadn't proven that his body or anything else existed he did prove that his mind existed because he is able to think. His thinking is the absolute truth which makes it reality.

Absolute is a matter of perception.The devout of all religions perceive their faiths an absolute truth and as such reality.

Your question is "is reality reality" basically. Do things exist as they are, or do things exist as they are not? If things are what they are then there is absolute truth because only one set of possible realities exists, that which does exist, one who denies absolute truth affirms that there are things which do not exist, I say there is nothing which does not exist. Now you know that only one thing IS, therefore that thing is the only thing we should believe. What that is is debated, but you can't argue that everyone's rights, for that would argue the existance of the one true contradiction: Non-existence.

Abosolute truth is true on many levels from absolute perspectives.
Absolute truth has no limits and is not restricted to description of reality.
Absolute truth has no boundries, no restrictions, no resistence and cannot be contained within the universe unaffected by space or time with absolute truth now is ad finitum...
