Now there is an oxymoron if ever I heard one!

Nice one, I didn't spot that.

All religion requires a leap of faith at some point. That's what makes religion different from science and philosophy.
A "leap of faith" requires suspension of reason. Most obviously in the "is-ought gap" which can be applied to almost any part of any religion and not just in the usual way it is applied to morals.
In this way, no religion is "reasonable". (even my own religion - I'm not atheist believe it or not )
