I understand faith to be belief without evidence. So to take evidence on faith, is incompatible with my definition.

Evidence is something that gives indication, that you take in. If there is such indication, if there is evidence, then your belief is evidence-based. If, however, you believe without any evidence whatsoever, if you take it on faith, if you just "have faith", which is blind, then your belief is faith-based and not evidence-based. And there is nothing more baseless, at least in my opinion, than faith-based belief.

Isn't believing something without evidence a stupid thing to do.
If I stepped off a cliff in the belief that a ledge would break my fall without evidence that the ledge existed... ok poor example but you get my reasoning I hope.
