Can you give me any example some somebody believing anything without
evidence? Even the Son of Sam serial killer had evidence; his neighbor's
doberman told him to commit those murders.

The evidence for a belief is another belief.  I believe the sun
has risen because I see a light in the sky, and I believe I see
a light in the sky because ...?

Some beliefs must be held without evidence, just as some truths
must be postulated without proof.
