You can't keep calling something factual and evidence when it changes into something else that can't be tested, proved blah. blah. blah. Just because a bunch of science minded people 'Believe' in it.When something reaches a point it can't (currently) be tested then, yes, there is plenty of faith & interpretation going on.
In which case the "theory" is no more than an idea of how something *might* work. If more evidence is discovered that gives the theory more (or less) credence then there is less room for interpretation (and therefore less "faith" required).
My skeptical view of religion (and indeed any supernatural thing) is simply that the person is a bit deluded and mis-interpreting something (and I'm sure they think the same of me!).
