My explanation was very simple, but if you think you explain how faith and knowledge can in fact "coexist", I'm all ears.
There are lots of examples of how faith and knowledge can in fact co-exist.
Example - the allied armies of WWII - where people of all faiths coexisted and
cooperated in a more important common cause.
And People in many large Multi- National companies - co-exist with others of other faiths - because the Job is more important than their religion - or it may be that religion is defined by the company as a non-issue to begin with.
But - in the end - you can have friends and co-exist with people of all different faiths -or non faiths - simply because you recognize that most people are not defined by their religion.
My grandmother had a saying - there are two type of people in the world - good ones - and bad ones - and you cannot tell just by looking at them which they are. I lived in a town where most of the people I lived near - were of another faith (They were Jewish - I was not) - and we got along because we learned that this didn't matter.
