I'm religious. I believe in god and heaven. I don't think these are facts as I cannot empirically prove them. Facts are truths that can be proved empirically, such as the earth orbits the sun or evolution through natural selection. Truths are something I believe to be true. Its a part of who I am and requires some degree of faith. Truths cannot necessarily be proved empirically.

All facts are true, but not all truths are facts.

I think truths are absolute to the people that believe them. Ask a devout Muslim or christian if they think the words in their holy book are true.
