Those who claim that 'truth' and 'reality' are synonyms are ignoring
the existance of emotional truths, which have no objective existance
(are not part of "reality") outside of the people who experience them.
This comes up not just as part of religion, but as the basis of
literature and much of the rest of the arts.
The predictions about the nature of *physical* reality of a religion
are falsifiable. Other aspects of a religion are not. They are in the
realm of subjectivity.
Debating the obvious is a bit silly.
