It would be helpful to figure out what you mean by "true knowledge." That
concept was largely rejected when religious knowledge was questioned with
the rise of modernity. Further, one would even be pressed very hard to refer
to anything in science as "true knowledge."
Have you missed the boat along the way on this kind of discussion?

Mario's "rock solid moral compass" is based on a
simpleton's religious oriented commonsense.
Mario observes:
The comment above is an excellent example of an
individual unorganized atheist who claims to be a
"secular humanist", whom we have already seen in
practice excludes millions of oppressed and
downtrodden from concern for a variety of
"sophisticated" reasons. In my opinion, this is an
elitist and patronizing attitude towards morality and
common sense which may lead to all kinds of
self-serving exceptions to whatever rules are adopted
regarding morality as well as common sense.
