The word 'saints' means 'holy ones'. The 'holy ones' are mentioned in the book of Daniel from Daniel chapter 7 verses 21 to 27. Daniel 7:13,14 and these passages show that Jesus Christ received kingly power and share it with a group of co-rulers. These passages are paralleled in Jesus offer to his apostles for a sharing in ruling God's kingdom after his last celebration of the passover. God chooses these individuals not any organization.

Jehovah's Witnesses do not venerate Catholic saints or believe in the intercession of saints. They view the practice of praying to saints as contrary to their belief in direct communication with God through prayer. They focus their worship and devotion solely on God.

What is the religion called the truth?
I'm not sure if a particular religion is actually called "The Truth". However, I've been one of Jehovah's Witnesses for all of my life ( 40 years). I actually made the decision to become one of Jehovah's Witnesses at the age of 13. Most Witnesses love talking about the Bible no matter where they are with their friends. Often, someone will ask you: "How long have you been in "the truth"? Or, "how did you come in the truth?" If one has been a Witness for a long time, this expression is almost always used even on a global scale. The majority of Witnesses that choose to leave this way of life, usually still refer to it as "the truth". Many never choose to go to other religions. Some will live a life completely contrary to what a Witness should live but later come back because they know it is "the truth". Jehovah's Witnesses feel they have found "the truth". This is not because they feel they are perfect. It is not because they "close there eyes" to the mistakes or misunderstandings we have had over the years. Rather, it is because Jehovah's Witnesses are sincere Bible students. They are always striving to make adjustments. As an organization, they are not too proud to admit when they have been wrong. True, they are criticized when they make changes. People call them the "false prophet". But we simply don't care about about these accusations. We feel any adjustment is good if it helps us get closer to the truth of the Bible. To sum it up, the difference between other religions and what Witnesses call "the truth" is the motive. "The meek shall inherit the earth". Meek means "teachable". It is closely related to humility. As a group, by allowing the Bible to guide them and by making any changes necessary ( even doctrinally) so as to please the Author of the Bible, they feel they have found "the truth".
Why would a catholic disagree with a Atheist view on the creation story?
A Catholic may disagree with an atheist view on the creation story because for Catholics, the creation story in the Bible is considered sacred and divinely inspired. They believe in the theological truths presented in the story, such as the existence of God as the creator of the universe. Atheists, on the other hand, do not believe in a god or a divine being, so they would not accept the religious explanations provided in the creation story.
