I do not agree with that at all. For the first Christians such as Peter and John, it was 100% evidence based. For many, many Christians since then, their 'faith' is evidence based. One can never be sure, but a worldview that sees Jesus as God-as-human makes more sense to us of the evidence than the alternatives.
Christianity was never evidence based. The firs accounts started appearing, at best, 40 years after Yeshua's alleged death and contained references to events that couldn't have happened and others we know didn't happen from other sources. The accounts' history and geography both got badly mangled.
Even if there were a Peter or a John, we can't know what they thought because we have no evidence for them.
It never ceases to impress me how many religionists fail to realize that ‘faith’ and ‘evidence’ are mutually exclusive.
