If you believe something is true, it is tautology that you know it is true. Like if you are aware of it: you know it. Confidence: knowledge. Faith in truth of: knowledge. Believe to be true: knowledge.

Uh, No.

Knowledge necessitates belief, you cannot be said to know something that you do not believe - I cannot know that the sky is blue without believing that the sky is blue.

Belief says nothing about knowledge, I can believe that the sky is green and it wouldn't be possible to know that the sky is green because it's not true.

Knowledge is at a minimum a true justified belief, though it requires something more than that which is hard to pin down - Most presentations of this unknown x fail possible intuitive counter-examples, it all turns into semantic wrangling when you get passed the basic outline of TJB + x and x remains ambiguous at best.

Faith is an unjustified belief, doesn't come close to knowledge.

Anyway, a denial requires first the existence of the denied. A state of denial is to suggest that the thing being denied is, but one will not accept this for whatever reason. It is necessarily an assertion, and requires defense.

That isn't true either. I deny that the FSM exists, it does not need to exist in order for me to deny it.

A lack of belief regarding a thing (no opinion) is not an assertion, although it is always great to defend holding no opinion as I would hope there is a reason for it

Agreed.
