"They have continued in the faith of their fathers."
Can this sentence mean both "they are in the faith that their fathers were in" and "they believe in their fathers, which is their faith (like confucianism)"?

No I think it only has the first meaning. If you wanted to say they have faith in their fathers you'd say "they have continued to have faith in their fathers" or "they have continued faith in their fathers." But note "to have faith in someone" means to trust them, it has nothing to do with religion.

"In the faith" is usually used in regard to religious faith
