Ah but knowledge gained through faith isn't the same as regular knowledge, the latter being the kind that the Lord despises so much. It's kind of like two competing brands of a product at a store.
Some people go to the story and pick up brand Jesus Knowledge, the kind gained through The Holy Spirit. You see, the Holy Spirit is the part of Jesus that comes into us once we accept Christ and believe with all our hearts. Once we believe, then the Holy Spirit comes into us and we know. So with brand Jesus knowledge, belief comes first and then the knowledge comes afterwards and belief is never changed regardless of any other facts that are introduced.
With brand Reason, knowledge is acquired first and then beliefs come afterwards, formed on that basis and revised as new knowledge is acquired. You can see this is a completely different kind of knowledge, right?
Then of course there are all the knock off alternate religion brands but they don't count because those beliefs are just silly.
