Religion and truth (or some facsimile thereof)

My intent was to point out to the scientifically oriented that if they ignore faith in their search for the truth, they will never achieve the understanding of the whole truth.

That seems arbitrary to me. Need they consider all faiths? How about Demonology? Superstition? Urban myths? Patterns in drying tea leaves?

The point is, other than popularity, why would the major--or organized--religions rate any higher than anything else?

IMHO, faith and truth--while perhaps not mutually exclusive--don't necessarily have much in common.
