Meh, not if you are following someone deluded themselves who mistakes old mythology for modern scientific knowledge that cannot be equated to objective fact. Religions are bias, everyone of every religion thinks they got it right.
I'd say if one wants a bigger awareness of the world study the world don't chase simply what one wishes to be true.
Knowledge isn't trying to make something fit your own world. I think that is the mistake in logic most theists make, not just MK.
I'd say the best advice is when you want facts you cannot be lead by your wishes and should not be afraid to be wrong.
Scientific method so far is what gives us the best understanding of nature and the universe. Being aware of traditions and religion you can be aware of lots of information sure, but that is a social norm mostly handed down to youth prior to them being able to formulate adult critical thinking skills.
