Faith and Knowledge

I used to agree with Kant that faith and knowledge are mutually exclusive. He wrote in the Preface to the Critique of Pure Reason, “I had to deny knowledge in order to make room for faith.” But now I think faith is opposed to sight but not to knowledge. Paul says, "we live by faith, not by sight" (II Cor. 5:7). And the author of Hebrews says, “. . . faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Doesn’t such confidence and assurance suggest knowledge? If so, faith and knowledge are compatible.
