the point of my question is just to show that religion is limited in it's ideas.

No. Truth is truth, regardless of what someone's beliefs are.

Every religion has a different slant on how to be "one with GOD", and every one of them thinks THEY know better than all the others and that all the others are mistaken, misguided or worse. And this all-powerful god they worship can't even be bothered to settle their differences of opinion and stop them from ignoring, despising and even killing each other; the same god that claims to be father to them all. I'm a father. A REAL father. I wouldn't sit back and let my sons and daughters kill each other over misunderstandings of MY wishes or instructions or which of them is more entitled to my love and care. I don't use middlemen. Universal or ultimate truths don't change, ever. And they are not subject to "interpretation". Beliefs are individual choices which can be shared by others, as in cultural beliefs, and they serve cultural as well as individual purposes, though not necessarily both. Beliefs serve the individual purpose of personal satisfaction and usefulmess. Independent thinkers generally resist social pressures to "believe" as the group does. It took some very stubborn and persistent independent thinkers to convince the world that the "universal truth" that the earth is flat was not quite right.

No, their is only one truth, Pilot asked what is truth, and this question is relevant because it gets to the core of religion, truth is what man has been seeking, but here's the deal, man in other religions seek to find an answer, while Christ came to us, we had God come to us, Jesus said he was God son, that shook people up even to this day, truth is simple, but blindness caused by pride and sin prevents those from seeing truth, truth is Gods son Jesus coming to earth to make a way for us to enter eternity with him, Jesus said I am the way the truth, no other religion has a man saying he is truth, a bold statement, Christ is truth, and Christ loves you, all other religions is false, all other religions also don't have this, that we as Christian are commanded to love our enemies, this was a bold statement too, Jesus is truth, truth is in him, therefore the universe is spent on this fact, that Christ is the only truth, So pilot was seeing truth before his eyes.

Beliefs and truth are two different things. Just believing something does not make it true .

No. Beliefs aren't known. They're just beliefs.
