The idea that there is no one single truth is something that I find really valuable, especially when it comes to dealing with religion. It allows me to see things so much more objectively, and to understand where other people are coming from so much more easily.
In Religious Studies, we have a saying "Truth is true so long as it's true to someone." (Try saying that five times fast!) I think that's very much what you were saying, unless I misunderstood. :-)
Back on topic, another definition of religions is closely related to this...
"The myths to which one ascribes, and the actions dictated by them" -- here I'm using the technical definition of "myth" which is "any true story". Or, using the definition of truth given above... any story which is true to someone.
So... could we describe religion as being comprised of "the stories which one believes to be true and the actions that follow from that belief"?
Then again, that include things like belief in Santa Claus (and leaving out milk and cookies) as religion, which doesn't seem quite right ... oh the problems of definition.
