If you don't distinguish having faith from having a theory

That doesn't follow from what Yvain said at all. There being no singular thing designated with the words "having faith" doesn't mean those words always designate the same thing as the words "having a theory". In fact, if they did there would be a singular thing they designate, which would directly contradict Yvain's point!
