I agree largely with what you say. Two more explanations:
If you don't understand the great mystery that is a religion, but claim to believe it anyway, you show off how pious you are.
Similarly, not knowing things can show your modesty.
Admitting you don't know something can show modesty. The issue brought up here is pride in ignorance, not the humble ability to admit it.
