The lack of proof about the existence of something is very different from believing in something without proof.
I believe unicorns don't exist because there is no proof they do. That is not a "religious" belief in the sense of "I choose to believe they don't exist and I don't need or want proof". If such proof were to be provided, I will happily reconsider my position.
I personally wouldn't even say I believed in them if they were proven to exist. I would state that I understand – or know – that they do.
Knowledge is a justified true belief
Incorrect. Knowledge is based on information that can be verified.
