If we make reality around us, then all faiths are valid because they all have faithful who adhere to their traditions and project their belief onto the world.
Or
Is there a set standard to reality, we don't contribute to it, and the Truth is a stable thing that can be found and written about?

There is only one Truth and this Truth is God. All that is not of God is a lie. Men create lies, but God is perfect; therefore, there is no lie in God. Reality is what the individual perceives. Actuality is what God projects---the two are philosophically different. What is actual is a reflection of God, and what is realized is a perception of human thought through the five senses and filtered through the emotions. human understanding is, therefore, flawed in all respects. God is the only reliable standard, and it is His truth that we seek. this is the fundamental purpose of religion---to seek the Truth that is God. The reason there are so many religions is because of self-righteousness, that is to say human prejudice and faulty reasoning.

Damn, I like your questions and answers.
We make reality, I think, because of our free will. I absolutely think that all faiths are valid because we each decide what is true for us. As we shape the world we can't help but inject our personal belief system into it. The reason for the diversity that we all enjoy.
Nothing is stable, or stagnant. Humans change and evolve and that makes truth subject to change as well. That could especially apply to science and medicine.

Pretty abstruse way of putting the question, but: the latter.
Reality is independent of human observers. The best we can do is try to approach it, asymptotically. The scientific method is the most accurate way we've found to do it.
From the fact that you ask this question, I assume you've been listening to those who have perverted a few misconceptions about quantum physics to suggest that reality is consciously malleable. Forget it - doesn't happen.

The only Truth available to us is revealed by God through His Word alone. Everything else is just your preferred version of reality at the moment.

Good lateral thinking. Relative truth is an illusion, you need concrete evidence. To find the truth, you must establish the validity of the available evidence.

Once the source of evidence is validated, other sources need to be compared accordingly with the established line of criteria.

...then, those who seek to hide their themselves within the truth, yet practice decietfully, need to be weeded out.

What you will be left with is a clean source for the Truth.

And the ability to become one with the source.
