Yes religions and ideas in general succeed purely on their correctness and there are no issues around the quality of the exposition of the doctrines, royal patronages, political concerns, psychology of conversion, etc. That is why today everyone knows the truth of any subject matter, because all the false readings of it have been wholly eradicated and instruction in the remaining truths is so complete and perfect as to make discussion redundant. "Whatever wins is true'" said the post-modern theologian, nervously glancing at Nietzsche's moustache

Make them more competent so at least one of them knows answers, and you can relay the information before the questions get asked. You can have sentences that imply that a character doesn't know something without it coming out as a question in dialogue.
Do be careful about making scenes that is "maid and butler" which is two characters sharing information that they both know and agree upon completely; this is another trap you will want to avoid more than characters who ask questions. You want to have conversations with at least a small amount of disagreement or there's little interesting besides what the reader is learning.
It could also be the case that one of your characters is very insecure and impulsively asks questions. I have known abuse victims and that was their coping mechanism, they got furious when even seemingly contradictory information was presented or not presented in a timely manner. If you have a character like this, maybe hang a lantern on that trait with a character making not of how many questions they ask.
