The reason I say that, is because, if we define knowledge as what we are justified or not, we may not be able to distinguish when we are justified and when we are not. What makes distinguish warranted justified belief from none-warranted unjustified belief, is simple, it's honesty. When we are honest to ourselves, we can distinguish between what we truly believe and what we don't. It's not about simply belief, but warranted belief, but to distinguished the warrant and non-warranted, is through honesty.
Knowledge is not a certainty. Certainty is when we are very strong at that perception with honesty and warranted belief.
Certainty is a level of knowledge. That itself has stages, and the more stronger the power of reason and sight of the heart is, the more we will be certain.
When one honestly assess what what truly believes, that is knowledge.
No. You are trying to equate your perception of your own morality, to your own desires.
That's his point. If he honestly desires god to exist then he has knowledge that god exists. (It just isn't certain knowledge anymore.)
