Knowlege is not absolute. But belief can be positively based on ignorance or insanity. We differentiate knowledge (as a consensus on facts)...from belief (as an individual grab for a brass ring).

Belief requires neither knowlege nor confirmation nor consensus nor reason. Knowledge presumes a consensus and a rationale. But it is no big deal if you wish to pad the shoulders of your belief. It will not change the facts.
