This is true, to a point. However, regardless of the document, there are certain principles that should be applied in order understand the author's intent. If those are applied properly, "most" of the time people can arrive at a similar conclusion. In those cases they don't, there is usually an agenda involved.
I addressed this in a previous post in this thread, (on the third page, if you want to look) so I will not repost it all here.
The short version is this, "what" a religion teaches, is based on what the supporting documents "teach" not what people say, or how they act.
For example, the Bible clearly teaches adultery is wrong, and any interpretation outside of that, is one that has violated a HOST of the proper principles required to interpret it correctly.
