axiomatically

As self-evident truth

Axiomatically means in a way that is self-evidently true or accepted without proof.

Something stated axiomatically is treated as a given rather than argued for: He axiomatically assumed that markets tend toward efficiency.

The word often carries a faint suggestion that the speaker may be taking too much for granted.
