Of course we need evidence to believe in something. I think this is universally true.
What isn't universal is the degrees of certainty people will accept as evidence.
For some, the Bible in addition to personal experience is more than enough evidence for them to justify a religious belief.
For some, the word of their parents or pastor is enough.
For some, nothing short of hard physical evidence will suffice.
Nobody woke up one day with Christian faith implanted in their heads. It always takes some level of convincing and justification.
