Actually, there’s nothing wrong with calling it a theory. In science, that’s a pretty solid thing! A scientific theory can be refuted through testing, and a scientific theory that survives tests for a century becomes very solid indeed.

That’s a very different animal from someone’s faith-based personal belief system. There’s nothing wrong with religion, either, but it’s not science. Faith-based belief doesn’t meet the rigorous standards necessary to be a scientific theory. Different animals.
