A thoughtful guide on evaluating religious claims through evidence, reason, and revelation
“Truth is not determined by the number of people who believe in it.”
— Fulton J. Sheen
Introduction: A Sea of Beliefs, But Only One Truth
We live in an age of pluralism. From Buddhism to Islam, from atheism to New Age spirituality—everyone has a belief system. In this “marketplace of religions,” many people throw up their hands and say:
-
“All religions teach basically the same thing.”
-
“Each person has to find their own truth.”
-
“There’s no way to know which religion is right.”
But if we apply logic and reason, as we do in every other area of life—science, medicine, law—we can and should examine religious truth claims.
Not all religions can be true.
They contradict each other on fundamental claims about God, salvation, and morality.
So how do we know what’s true?
How can we cut through emotion, relativism, and cultural bias to find the faith that is actually from God?
This article offers a rational, historical, and evidence-based guide to do exactly that.

-
Either God exists, or He doesn’t.
-
Either Jesus is God, or He isn’t.
