Abstract

This article discusses the truth claims contained in religion. Every religion claims that its teachings teach the truth. Religion functions as an instrument of the aims and views of humankind, so that it can be in harmony with the value of goodness that is inherent with God. There is a crossroads of views regarding truth claims on religion, including God. Claims of religious truth are considered valid only in historical contexts which can be verified. Religion does not describe the world accurately, but promotes individual moral awareness and provides comfort to humans.
