Yes I can understand why you could think that and certainly his belief in the bible was apparent.
His belief did change however.
But I think faith probably is something Newton would have rejected simply because faith means the support of an idea without evidence ..if you have evidence you do not require faith is the way it goes.
I think when he really got stuck into researching the bible he changed his views somewhat...anyways I wont spoil that part of his story for you and suggest you read about his journey.
He did not believe the concept of the Trinity which he had to keep to himself given where he was employed ...some place including the words " holy trinity"...but seriously read up on him if you havent as his life and ideas are extrodinary.
