All beliefs are unevidenced. That's what makes them beliefs.
Maybe a question of symantics but some beliefs are evidenced hence why it is reasonable to believe them. We do not tend to go through our lives personally confirming everything we hear rather than take some things as belief. Depending on the confidence one has in the source we can believe some things who's evidence has been verified by others. I believe the sun will rise tomorrow, I do not know it will it is a belief I have as evidenced by the many sun rises that have seen.
