Having faith in something is not necessarily tied to religion. It's believing something to be true, but not being able to 100% prove it through whatever method.
Scientists have theories that based on their observations seem to be true, but cannot be proven 100%. There is a level of "faith" in that. The Big Bang Theory is an example of what I would consider "faith" to some extent. You can use other words for it, but there is a belief this happened based on observable, recorded facts.
Many scientific "facts" based on assumptions, have been proven wrong.
Perhaps "faith" isn't the word scientists would prefer, but to me it is the same. Others will see if differently I'm sure.
To me, its like the word "creationist". Something or someone set the universe on the path to it's present state. Regardless of how it got there, there was a creation. So, in essence, every explanation of the universe is indeed "creationism".
Also, @

Unplugem but while he is a conspiracy theory "enthusiast" I'm not sure I see where he is a creationist in the definition you intended, unless I missed his references to a supreme being.
