Reality is independent of the human mind, i.e. reality would continue to be the case whether or not anyone believed it, or indeed whether or not there were any human minds to believe it in the first place.

Something that is said to be a "[[fact]]" is a concept, statement, thing, scientific law, or event that has been unequivocally (indisputably) proven to be reality, i.e. [[truth]]. Facts are always based on concrete, verified evidence which substantiates their reality. However, on the other hand, a too strict application of this procedure might result in a closed-minded [[materialism|materialist]] worldview. [[Atheism|Few]] would argue that some aspects of reality, namely the divine, should be subjected to a strict materialist critique, because these methods still rely on imperfect human understanding of the world. Combining a reality-based outlook on life in everyday matters while still maintaining a strong reliance on the - no less real - truth derived from [[Bible|higher sources]] is a reasonable way to realize the potential as well as the limitations of human understanding of reality.

Monorealism, a term coined by the [http://www.churchofreality.org Church of Reality] is a world view that there is only one true reality that includes all other realities, parallel dimensions, universes, next worlds, deities, that are actually real. Everything that exists, that which is real, that which is true, is all part of reality. That which is not real, fiction, imaginary beings, stories, and things that do not exist are not part of reality. In this world view there are two and only two mutually exclusive classes, real and unreal, and everything is in one of these classes and not the other.
