Hmmm, I'm not so sure. Let's look at the dictionary...
http://www.tfd.com/hypothesis
hy·poth·e·sis Pronunciation (h-pth-ss)
n. pl. hy·poth·e·ses (-sz)
1. A tentative explanation for an observation, phenomenon, or scientific problem that can be tested by further investigation.
2. Something taken to be true for the purpose of argument or investigation; an assumption.
I don't see anything about unquestioning belief. Sorry.
