An Imaginary Reality is a description of another reality that isn't actually real. It is a description of reality based in fiction where those who believe in the reality choose to do so without any objective evidence, or in spite of objective evidence, that the reality actually exists. Such realities are often described in sacred religious books where the believer has to assume based on Faith that the book is true.
The term Imaginary Reality is a contradiction but is useful when discussing reality with those who insist on believing in something that isn't real but people insist on believing anyway. It's also a foundation for talking about the Faith Paradox where without reality based scrutiny there's no way to determine if one person's faith based belief is more true than another person's faith based belief.
The difference between Real Reality and imaginary reality is that real reality is observable by non-believers and holds up to Scrutiny. If an imaginary reality is tested and determined to be real then it would switch from the imaginary category to the real category. If, for example, science discovers that Heaven exists then Heaven moves into the reality based world and members of the Church of Reality would believe in it.
