the limited role of faith in religion in general

It is only some branches of Christianity that emphasize faith.

Knowledge is emphasized in many areas of Christianity as well as in Islam.

Grace and experience are also emphasized as is inner knowing.

Someone asked Carl Jung, “Do you believe in God.”
“No, he said, I don’t believe (in God). I KNOW!”

I’ve always said that religion isn’t nearly as important as spirituality.

Berdollos:

Why must knowledge and faith be mutually exclusive?

Do you know that A is A? Very well, then. Prove it.
