The idea is that you would open with this, but go on to explain why there could not be such a thing as evidence, because what is being asserted isn’t really an assertion at all.
I can’t agree with the idea that religious assertions aren’t really assertions.
A fairly big thing in Christianity is that Jesus died, but then two or three days later was alive and well. This is a claim about how the world is (or was). It’s entirely conceivable that there could be evidence for such a claim. And, in fact, there is evidence—it’s just not strong enough evidence for my liking.
