Without implicitly acknowledging some supra-natural reality, not even "superstition" can be condemned; and truth is no better than lies.

So... the real world provides no basis for truth vs. untruth, therefore we must invent a magical "supernatural" realm (where cause & effect are not related) & simply assert that truth lives there?

Ohhhhh kaaaaay.

Actually Jenny, the creation provides a basis for the knowledge of a creator, though only in a general sense. This has been accepted as "truth" by countless thinking individuals down through the centuries, if not millenia.

Some would call it an unmistakable/undeniable truth.

The modern skeptic, with his/her committment to philosophic naturalism [nature is all there is] is faced with the unfortunate, and ironic dilemma, of having to sustain their belief system by, or on, sheer faith. This, after presumably rejecting faith as an attribute of the less educated masses.
