There's a great book from a different line that delves into this as a form of what the author calls 'manifold objectivism'. In short, there are some big concepts like Christianity or Islam that people refer to as if it's the same thing but almost nobody has a shared meaning when they refer to such big things. Even so there can be concrete dialogues about these topics from different frames and with different underlying meanings.
There's trouble though when either there is conflict that isn't reconciled between the interlocutors or worse, when there is a satisfactory conclusion between the two interlocutors who never accounted for the divergent definitions ... there are many 'objective' understandings of what a thing is.

Even so there can be concrete dialogues about these topics from different frames and with different underlying meanings. See Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations for a deeper treatment of that topic.
