This is an assumption you are making with no basis in fact.
 
As such, it is a "belief" which has no particular intrinsic value and
no practical application.

"God" does not exist without the teachings of these religions. "God"
is a construct entirely dependent on these religions, as there is no
non-religious evidence or rational theory to support belief in "God"'s
existence.

Which is stupid, as there is no evidence that "God" exists, hence your
"absolute truth" is an abysmal bit of nonsense.

Gee, funny that - a bunch of story-tellers "report" Jesus's sayings
and you expect their "reporting" to be accurate?
 
Is there any evidence whatsoever that anybody took notes as Jesus
uttered his words?
 
If not, should we not assume that the writings of the New testament
(most of which was written 2 or 3 generations after Jesus's death) are
pretty much complete fiction?

How can you "universally apply" something which has no basis in fact?
 
Sounds bloody dangerous, to me...
