If you are trying to imply that Judaism and Christianity encourage dishonesty, I don't think that will fly. I did a bible search under "truth" and came up with 224 results.Among them were:
For the Lord is good his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth for all generations.
Psalm 100:5
I have chosen the way of truth, thy judgements have I laid before me
Psalm 119:30
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 8:32
Sanctify them through thy truth. Thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
John 17:17-19
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own for he is a liar, and the father of it.
And because I tell you the truth, you believe me not.
John 8:44-45
