Truth is real in its own right, and to believe in truth you do not have to do anything.
A Course in Miracles
When my wife was at graduate school she wore a t-shirt that greatly amused me. It showed a giant blackboard with complicated formulas written on it, and two professors were standing in front of it. The one professor highlights a break in the formula on which it is written 'and then a miracle happens' and then says to the other, 'I guess you need to be a little bit more explicit in this step'.
Religion is the conjecture of the 'I' that the sky is the limit to our spiritual development. There is nothing wrong with that approach. Every researcher has to do the same thing to experience scientific break-throughs of any sort. It is useful to be dreaming, it is just not ok to shut your eyes to reality if the evidence that you expect doesn't show up. 'By their fruit ye shall recognize them and they shall know themselves', the Bible says. Truth is something that the Tao will show you; open your eyes and see for yourself what happens.
