With the word "reason" you already feel miles away.

Sure, dissuading reason in favour of credulity is always the way of a belief system that cannot stand up to the light of reason. It's very common.

And frankly that quote sounds offensive, reason isn't arrogant and saying those that use it are incapable of love is demonstrably false as well as being arrogant itself.
Everyone uses reason all day long in every area of their lives. When you assume your car is where you parked it, that's reason. When you lose your keys and look in different places, that's reason ("I keep looking in the kitchen because that's where I want them to be" isn't reasonable, so no one does this). Typing on the keyboard on keys that reliably reproduce the same letters to spell words that reliably have the same definitions that can facilitate communication to another mind all require reason.
