Faith is believing in someone you can't see, and believing that you will be taken care of. Fantasy is just make believe, and has no truth to it. Faith is sitting on a chair, and believing it will hold you without a second thought. Faith is believing that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God. Faith is believing that Jesus died on the cross, and was buried, and rose again the third day. Faith is believing that He will come back for His children one day. Faith is truth.

Fantasy is recognized as fiction.
Faith is belief in a tradition or system of belief which may or may not have verifiable evidence to support it. By virtue of having been believed for a lenghty period of time, it is elevated beyond fiction.
Myth may also be mentioned here. Myth is the substance of faith. It is the literature or oral tradition in which faith is based. Myth is not automatically assumed to be fiction. Indeed, it may well be true. The tales of Arthur and Merliln are myth, but they are rooted somewhat in fact. The tales of St. Patrick are myth, but some of them are quite true.
So, faith is something believed. Those who believe assume it to be true. Indeed it may be true. The problem is that it cannot be completely proved.

Faith is capitalized in the question, thus I would assume you are talking about Faith Hill, the country singer. She is real. I have seen her on tv.
Fantasy is something you cannot prove happened, wish would happen, or believe in to make up for what you lack in your own strength or personal life.... or of course, superstition. Those are all fantasy. The tooth fairy, me getting laid by Shakira, and pretty much every organized religion fall into the fantasy catagory.

Fantasy is when you know some is fiction, but some sort of magicial element still exists and makes you want to believe in something more.
Faith is when you have a strong conviction about what you know is personally right. It's when you know that the element cannot be proven, but that it's stronger than anyone realizes and you're willing to take a chance that it exists.

Faith is something you believe in your heart, where fantasy is something you believe in your mind.
Faith is as the Bible says; The substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen.
Faith is Your title deed to heaven. Just as a title of ownership of realestate, is evidence of earhtly estate.
Faith is your title deed, and evidence of your heavenly estate, in Chirst.

Faith is that channel of trust to God. Fantasy is devoid of trust, but rather wishful thinking. And the wish is the father of the thought, which is where a person stumbles, on his way committing a sin!

Faith is being confident in something, and being able to rely on it, because you already know it to be the case.
Fantasy is using something to be the case when you've never perceived it, except in a book.

Believing there is something greater going on in this world than what we see in our day to day lives, and believing that a prince charming will save you from a dragon.

Fantasy is something you should share with others, Faith is something you should keep to yourself.

Fantansy is something that can't exist. Faith is something that exist only if you believe in it.
