They do not reason to the existence of something more than material. This is an important disctinction. It is also the distinction that makes belief in the supernatural a properly basic belief (needs no further justification) and therefore a reasonable belief to have.
A properly basic belief does not require justification. However, in order for a properly basic belief to have warrant, it must be held after weighing it against possible defeaters.
Belief does not require shit. Sell a kid Santa before they can figure out the parents are the gift givers and they swallow it.
Knowledge and facts require kicking the tires and the ability to go where the evidence leads and the ability to accept when you got it wrong. The rest is a like.
