who would win? a tweak to exaggerate the power of bishop and knight

The question who is stronger bishops or knights have been around as long as the game has.
That is a pretty hard question to answer, trust me, I have tried answering...but what if we tweak it a bit, and maybe even add alittle bit of excitement to it, maybe then we would have more insight and actually be able to answer the question.

Lets assume this hypothitical scenario;
One Kingdom, we will say an atheist one, that just invests all there shellings on knights, so they have the following line up going into war: Rook, Knight, Knight, Queen, King, Knight, Knight, Rook
and then we have another kingdom that is fueled by the word of god, and enters battle fully backed by the strenght of the almighty. Their line up would be: Rook, Bishop, Bishop,Queen, King, Bishop, Bishop, Rook.

Do in this hypothitical situation, who do you think would win, the bishops or the knights?

I personally believe the knights will win. only because they have the opportunity to gain momentum early on in the game, and then use this advantage through out the game.

Do you think this would prove the might of one over the other? lets say we program a computer to play this line up a thousand time, do you think we would see that one is stronger then another? and if we do see that one is stronger than another, do you think that this would be an applicable conclusion as to which is actually stronger?
