Would religion change if people only told the truth?

This is a response to Misty Elliot's post about how religion would be affected if nobody was allowed to lie. Well firstly, Dan Brown wouldn't be quite as rich, seeing as his books depend on the superstition that the church is lying about many events in history. Actually, many authors would not be able to publish. Quite an unfortunate downside to such a society. No more adventure-fiction for us.

Getting to the point though: Everyone believes that their religion, or faith, or perhaps their belief that nothing exists past death, is true. For example, if someone were to pray to God for some sort of comfort and have it happen, they could use that as proof that God exists. Others might say it is simply a coincidence. But even in a society that can only tell the truth, to say "I believe in God" would be a truth. The person is certain that God exists, therefore they are telling the truth.

Now that I've established that certainty can exist within religion, this poses the question: Is there any situation where an absolute truth can exist within religion?
