I think what some people call "faith" in science, is really a reliance on data

Yes exactly. But I don't call it "faith" every time I sit in a chair that it won't collapse. Chairs do occasionally collapse, but by experience we know it is generally safe to sit in them. If chairs generally did collapse yet a person persisted in sitting down every time with the expectation that it won't collapse, then that would be faith in action.
