Faith is the opposite of REASON/LOGIC, not 'the intellect.'
Faith will always reduce down to some fundamental dogma that exists outside of universal human experience. That doesn't make it anti-intellectual... it just means that religious genius and faith-based intellectual work are more closely related to poetry and painting than they are to science.
