I guess technically, if you look at a possible definition of faith below (#1 and #2) and don't consider the others, than it could be considered faith -- technically.
FAITH:
1. confidence or trust in a person or thing: faith in another's ability.
2. belief that is not based on proof: He had faith that the hypothesis would be substantiated by fact.
3. belief in god or in the doctrines or teachings of religion: the firm faith of the Pilgrims.
That being said, my answer would be an unequivocal, NO. Because obviously, in this area of discussion and in this arena, "Faith" has only one meaning - #3.
I guess what I'm saying is that the actual term, faith may be subject to interpretation by those who would already have a biased agenda.
