Fixed that for you.
Funny... But in reality that is a bit of a huge generalization. There are some very intelligent religious people out there, but for the most part a good 75% of them are incredibly stupid, but then again most of the human race is stupid so that's not saying much.

Talking about definitions: Faith is "strong belief in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual conviction rather than proof" which is in direct contradiction with reason. Even if we take the more popular definition that people on the site, including WLC says "complete trust or confidence in someone or something". If you have complete trust in something, or an emotional wedge in something, it is by the very nature of 'complete trust' at odds with reason. You can't have 'complete trust' in some idea, and be reasonable at the same time. Because your bias and 'complete trust' will leak through into your metaphysics, like with the presuppositions of the kalam argument is based on. WLC is engaging with presuppositionalism in disguise.
