Revelation is also a source of knowledge, nor does it conflict with the claims of real science.

Uhhh...this is a fatuous statement. If I have a revelation that I can fly, I may become fatally aware of the conflicts with science. And if I have a revelation that a guy with a long beard on a throne got bored one week long ago and created the universe, it don't make it true...

Again, faith is not fideism. All alleged revelations must be tested by reason. The Christian revelation has met this test for two thousand years. If you disagree with this conclusion then address the Christian claims, do not just dismiss them. The untested claim that the Christian revelation cannot stand up to reason is itself an act of fideism.

Nor burden me with the claim of other alleged revelations. That fact that some money has been proven to be counterfeited does not invalidate money.
