Faith is faith. The two cannot be put together.
I have knowledge that the coffee cup in front of me is empty, this is based on sight, touch and the weight of it. All three of these senses tell the same thing. It's empty. Where does the faith bit come in?
Yes, good tool for keeping the fear. Though when the Spanish arrived and saw the barbaric practice, they slaughted them.
Transportation is a great example of faith. You have faith that you will have a safe trip when you drive, but you don't have the knowledge that you'll get there alive, even though you can see, touch and secure yourself in your vehicle.
Anyone can have knowledge of an empty cup because this world tells us what liquids and solids look and feel like. But could you have faith that the cup was empty if you 30 paces away from it? Or would you have to have faith from the knowledge that Sae gives you, when she tells you it's empty?

What? Thick? I'm being serious. I'm not a die-hard tree hugger, I don't recycle much, I love geese even though they hiss and I enjoy the smell of freshly cut grass.
If you're wondering if I believe in the story of creation. I do.
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6
