unquestioningly

Accepting without challenge

Unquestioningly means without doubt, hesitation, or challenge.

To accept something unquestioningly is to take it on faith rather than scrutinizing it: She unquestioningly followed orders.

The word often carries a faint note of criticism, suggesting perhaps one should have questioned: He unquestioningly believed everything he read online.
