Faith is believing what you do not see. Knowledge can be gained by visual proof.

It depends on how you are using the words. One can have factually knowledge about religion and not be a religious person. On the other hand there is another way of using the words... One can know something through 'faith', which means that they have no first hand knowledge of it. Or one can "know" because they have had the experience. For example, you may have faith that God exist, but never felt God's presence. That would not be 'knowledge', that would be only faith. Faith is to belief what you can not prove. Knowledge is proof.

There is no difference between faith and knowledge. Blind faith is a concept often equated with faith, by the blind. Faith is not so nice, if you see the ending of a tragedy. It's real cool if you know there's going to be a sequel...

Faith is believing. Knowledge encompasses everything. The more you know the more self-reliant you can be, the better decisions you can make. You can have very low knowledge of things and still have tremendous faith.

Depends on whether you're referring to blind faith that claims it "doesn't know" and therefore falls back on "faith", or the faith that stands ONLY until knowledge is gained that refutes or supports the claim/theory proposed.

Faith is believing in something even if it cannot be proved, knowledge is basically being "aware" of information, or, more basically...what you know. Just because you know something does not mean you know everything, lol.

Faith is absolute trust in the unknown, that there is a greater divine power.
Also, I might not necessarily have faith in what I know. I know God exists but do I have absolute trust in what he will bring to my future?

Faith is an answer to your knowledge. You read a little so you believe in this...You see a little so you believe in this...

Faith is what we haven't seen and yet believe(such as we haven't seen God, and yet believe He exists) and knowledge is what we know; it doesn't take faith to believe knowledge.
