Self interpretation Often teachers of religion preachers, monks, rabbis make a claim that their religions are not religions at all &mdash rather are Way of Life, a Reality, or The Truth. From the point of view of another religion s aherents, claims like this are often seen to be diametrically opposed to their own teaching and belief. A Taoist who says for example that Tao is not a religion , rather is a way of life may find a very different view from a Christian minister, or a Hindu priest. The typical claim then, is Despite what another religion may claim, our truth is the real truth, or closer to the real truth. namely God . Hence a claim, by one religion s adherents that its truth is greater than the other.
