If a claim is without evidence and without contradiction, then it may or may not be correct.

I respectfully disagree. If I present the creation account of the Flying Spaghetti Monster then there is absolutely nothing anyone can say that invalidates the truth of that account. It simply
is correct.
Now, if we have constructed and agreed upon rules for when something can be correct and when it can be incorrect then I certainly agree with you. But that's not the issue here. You may hold the rule that there can be only one god but I can trump that by installing as many gods as I like. That doesn't make my claims more correct than yours but it certainly doesn't make your claims more correct than mine. Ergo, they are all as correct as they can be.
Of course, if I attempt to walk outside the realm of my claim and argue the truth by means for which there is either actual evidence or axiomatic rules, then I'm screwed.
