What understanding of science allows you to believe people can have "faith" in science?

A lot of people compare science to religion. They seem to have a sense that scientists pursue their science with the fervor of someone with faith. I.e., that they will brook no opposition. Therefore they aren’t open-minded.
It’s very strange to me. Are they looking at the emotions surrounding science instead of the method, itself? Can anyone be more skeptical of science than a scientist? If science is built on skepticism, what does it mean to be skeptical about skepticism?
