In other words, you can't support your assertion; consequently it is dismissed.

I can attempt an example.

It is a leap of faith to assume knowledge of God, without knowledge of God.
It is an equal leap of faith to assume that having knowledge no God exists, has anything to do with "knowledge".

Nontheism is not about knowledge.
Enlightenment is not about knowledge.
It is about character.
Neither imposing, nor opposing.
Knowledge is something all three groups lack.
And having the ability to believe in God is hardly revelational.
Also having the ability to conceive that there may be no god, and jesus is a myth, is hardly a revelation worthy of anything more than, wow, aren't you a clever boy, give him a cooky.
