The "crisis of faith" interpretation is interesting, but I'm not really convinced that's what "Could You Be the One?" is really about.
To me, it seems this song is about Mould's homosexuality, which by this point was an open secret and common knowledge, although he had never came out, as it were.
There's an awful lot of hiding and crying and broken hearts in the song to support this analysis. I admit, it's kind of an obvious conclusion to jump to, but it really makes the most sense to me. It also could be about a lovelorn longing and crush on someone.
