I mean, the whole Summer = Salem thing is something of a semi-believeable crackpot, if nothign mroe than that. It's been theorized that by sending Summer to fight off Salem's predecessor or something, she ended up winning but getting corrupted by its power and never returned, thereby becoming Salem, the new host of whatever makes Salem who/whatever she is. It's food for thought, though I don't think it's true.

And while Salem and Ozpin probably aren't the brothers themselves (since the lore says the gods left Remnant anyhow), having mentioned it was clearly meant to have some sort of comparison with them, since both of them are the leaders of their respective sides, and Ozpin is generally associated with the good of mankind while Salem is associated with the bad.
