It would be able to later decide if it wanted to go against its orginal programming...after it started learning stuff.

Faith is not assent to a set of propositions.
Faith is the orientation of the whole person towards that which one considers worthy of ultimate commitment.
In your machine's case, I'd hope its faith was directed to the welfare of human beings.

That means you are the Intelligent Design Creator....hmmmm...so things created to be intelligent are created by a a creator. Interesting concept. And if you are the creator of the thinking machine, wouldn't you then be worthy of being worshipped as the creator? But then suppose your thinking machine decided you didn't make it, that it evolved slowly through time from parts at Radio Shack. Then I guess if it thought it knew more than you, then what good was it in the first place? Suppose your thinking machine actually threw away the owner's manual you made for it saying it doesn't need your guidance and why should it need the guidance of the one who made it? After all you designed the thing to think on it's own. Hmmm, so the thinking machine really knows more because it was designed to think on it's own. You are a thinking machine, so someone must have made you, so do you know more than the one who made you?

Actually the machine would know God exist, just by applying mathematics into cell creation, the Bible Code, the miracles not allowed in the news, out of body experiences, end time predictions, vision inside a dark skull, John Edwards the medium, the amount of people that witnessed the miracle at Fatima, before the Big Bang and the massive amount of missing intermediate species in the theory of evolution.

That would be a waste of time and effort. Presumably the machine, left to its own devices and able to access the world's information resources, would come to its own conclusions in good time.

No! Look what having religious beliefs has done to humanity - it has been the cause of more death than anything else throughout history!

If it had the capacity to learn, and to reason, I bet you would be surprised when it starts praying all on it's own...

It should at least have moral values. If it thinks, and it can out think you, you no longer have control over what it does.
