Religion and geography

Any belief, if investigated deeply enough through the substrates of the reasons and mechanisms that brought it forth, will be traceable to some factual truths. So any belief, even those concocted for no direct reason whatsoever other that to deceive, must ultimately reflect some truth, and therefore be true in some way of its own.

But being true only in this manner of way is useless, because even though truth it contains is somewhere, you can't readily and reliably identify what it is and where it is. Therefore you are unlikely to be helped by it in drawing any correct conclusions. So for a belief to be true only in this manner of ways is functionally equivalent to being false.

To be functionally true, It seems to me the belief must be associated with, either within itself, or within the context of in which it is propagated, an accurate and precise description of exactly in what way it is true. Only then is "being true in its own way" capable of being of any value.
