the following is a great quote by Brigham Young. truth is everywhere.
THE GOOD IN ALL PEOPLE--Whether a truth is found with professed infidels or with Universalists, or the Church of Rome, or the Methodists, or the Church of England, the Presbyterians, the Baptists, the Quakers of any other of the various and numerous sects and parties, all of whom have more or less truth, it is the business of the Elders of this Church to gather up all the truth in the world pertaining to life and salvation, to the gospel we preach, to mechanism of every kind, to the sciences, and to philosophy, wherever it may be found in every nation, kindred, tongue, and people and bring it to Zion. The people on this earth have a great many errors, and they have also a great many truths. This statement is not only true of the nations termed civilized--those who profess to worship the true God, but is equally applicable to pagans of all countries, for in their religious rites and ceremonies may be found a great many truths which we will also gather home to Zion. All truth is for the salvation of the children of men--for their benefit and learning--for their furtherance in the principles of divine knowledge.
--Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 7, p. 283
