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.

Evidence is completely subjective. That which a scientist considers evidence is a far cry from the idiocy that the faithful accept as evidence.
Don't we discuss this enough?

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
