There is no religion or tradition that has a monopoly on truth,
He who touches the truth recognizes it in every religion.
I think of the (Buddhist) story of the blind men each feeling a part of the elephant and each believing they know what the elephant is like …
…With the difference that the sum of religions still fails to contain reality.
They are a modality, modules, factories through which the truth passes, the light that reality is modeled by the properties of prisms (civilizational elements, collective psychological uses).
The practitioner with deep consciousness nevertheless sees the original light in each gradient, each grain, ray, distributed by the religious prism.

… and learns, perhaps, to ignore every claim of « truth » that mere religion advances…

yes…even though sometimes burning the casket is killing the message.

Messages can be reformulated. Perhaps, they need so to be.
