if you further constrain the request to seeking legitimate arguments for treating religious faith (either in general, or that of one particular denomination) as a rational epistemology, then I can’t help you.
Thank you for answering my question. If I read it right you’re saying “No, it’s not possible to reconcile religion and rationality, or at least I can’t refer you to any sane person who tried.”
If I understand what you’re using “religion” and “rationality” to mean, then I would agree with the first part. (In particular, I understand you to be referring exclusively to epistemic rationality.)
As for the second part, there are no doubt millions of sane people who tried. Hell, I’ve tried it myself. The difficulty is not in finding one, but rather in finding one who provides you with what you’re looking for.
