If the reasoning is valid, if it gives credence to the belief, it's evidence by definition! So it's better to just say: evidence! It's one word and it's technically correct!
[sorry we're way off topic here]
Reasoned faith is validated by other believers. So does that give it credence and make it evidence?

I find him rather like-minded, but much more intelligent than myself
I could never make a proper puppy though... puppies are supposed to be all innocent and happy... while im... erm...

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
