Unless you have a rather narrow-minded view of evidence, Mark23, you're just wrong. Religious faith is certainly based on evidence; look at the Summa Contra Gentiles, for example, or Descartes' Meditations. You might not find it particularly convincing evidence, but many people smarter than you or I have found it convincing, and so calling them stupid and ignorant only reveals your own ignorance and bigotry.
