I think the real dilemma is, some people's inability to recognize that it's "poetic" truths, that are really worthy of the title "truth".

Absent of that we might as well just call things, useful, rather than truthful.

Atheists tend to overemphasize the importance of recognizing scientific facts, when in reality such facts are among the most superficial and shallow things we hold.
