I assume you're referring to the "without evidence" part. That means 
more that the evidence isn't relevant to the gismu itself, not that 
there isn't any evidence at all. But many ideologies are religionistic. 
And most religious people feel there is plenty of evidence behind their 
practice. However, you might prefer instead veldjuno.
