Religion requires accepting certain things on faith. Should we

Yes.

You seem to be blinded by your prejudices.

No. I simply recognize reality. Faith-based thinking has never
produced a truth.

Before we can do that, we would have to ask: *what* things does
religion ask us to accept on faith?

It doesn't.

which causes you to misunderstand what John said. OF COURSE religion
asks us to accept certain things on faith. So does science.

I do not accept any axioms on faith. I'm always open to considering
different axioms, different choices for assumptions behind reasoning.
That is not faith.

"Accurate knowledge." Hmm, that phrase seems to be tinged with private
interpretation.

No. Reality is not determined by interpretation.
