Way to fundamentalize.
When you know where the treasure is why dig any place else?
Because you DON'T know...you CAN'T know.
...I prefer a man who will burn the flag and then wrap himself in the Constitution to a man who will burn the Constitution and then wrap himself in the flag.

The question was hypothetical anyway so I don't see why you can't answer it.
Are you actually so insecure about your current religion that you can't even entertain the thought of "what if I followed another religion, and if I did, what religion would that be"?

How do you know what he don't know?
Presuming for the moment that Jay doesn't have any supernatural form of intelligence giving him insight into things that no one else on earth has (and this being Jay, well...), if this sort of thing were "knowable", then it would certainly be common knowledge.
That is, after all, the nature of religion. If you could know, then faith would be unnecessary. Unfortunately, the opposite is the way of it.

What if it's more complicated and he can't understand what he knows. Can he still know?

I believe you may have just explicitly described Jay's entire way of life.

The one from Star Wars so I can have a light saber and cut all you motherfuckers' arms off in a bar and then be all like, "Whatever bitches, I'm a Jedi. And no need to thank me for the first aid, that wound was instantly cauterized."

I disagree. Their religious beliefs are they don't know nor do they think they can know one way or another. It is a very simple religious belief and would be my second choice after Atheism.

I think both of you are right. It's a matter of semantics. Agnosticism might not be a "religion" per se but it's definitely a religious viewpoint as it were.
