It doesn't really. You can just accept that we can't know anything for sure & then work on evidence.

humanists don't have some exclusive access to reason, rationality and knowledge - these can be accessed by people of religious faith too.

I am not sure what your point is - even scientific theorists like Popper work on the uncertainty of knowledge as the basis of science.

I'm saying that the best epistemology available to us takes evidence as its basis.

The fact that all knowledge is provisional & religious people can rely on evidence for things other than religion doesn't counter that.
