There is no justification for the statement that religion reveals truth. From first principles, it seems much less able to sort out truth from misconception than either science or philosophy. Empirically, if you look at religions around the world and throughout history, the principle seems confirmed: radically different ideas of what is true. In contrast, the other two, while not entirely stable over time, tend to converge on certain things (science far more than philosophy).
