So you say you need faith to believe in God and Christ and all of the other stuff.
So if I said I had faith in Mary Poppins being a real person can she be my God?
Or does this only work for Holy Scriptures?
Once again I don't mean this to sound rude.
I have a sarcasim problem I am sorry if it looks disrepectful. I try so hard to break the sarcasim but to no avail. So please forgive me.

Faith is a tough thing--no matter how much you want to have it, if you don't; you don't.
I could say that the world would be a nicer place if Santa Claus were real, and so decide that I wanted to have faith in that, but no matter how much I tried, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to believe it. So how could God hold us responsible for something we have absolutely no control over? Why would he give us critical thinking abilities and then make his main requirement that we set them aside in order to please him?

Faith does not necessarily have to be aimed at a god.
And you can choose whichever god(ess) you like. At least Mary Poppins cleans the house and looks after people.
There's nothing wrong with sarcasm, it's the sincerest form of non-flattery.

You can have faith in a turnip, but is it going to
improve you, change you, make you think,
make you a better person, neighbor, husband or
wife, mother/father, etc.
When you die, if you believe you have a soul..
will your faith take you to a place of peace?
Does it give respect to the creator?
If not, whats the point to have faith?

To try to answer your question, if you really believe someone that is presented to you as a fictional character actually exists, you are a bit daft. When it comes to God, however, God was not presented as a fictional character.

If I went around telling people that Superman would return to solve all of our problems one day, but nobody knew the day or hour, I would be dragged kicking and screaming into a psychiatrist's office.
Think about it.

BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO GET INSIDE YOURSELF TOO MUCH FAITH FOR THE MUSIC STARTS TWISTING AND TURNING INTO AND FOR ONLY YOU, THE PIXELS ON THE TELIVISION LINE COLORS UP DIFFERENTLY TO GIVE YOU UNFAMILIAR IMAGES,AND YOUR DREAMS AT NIGHT ARE SENT BY AN IMAGINATION FAR GREATER THAN HUMANS.
Have a nice day!

God is god and in your heart you know its true (Rom chap 1)
You have faith in a chair you sit in (you dont check it before sitting)
you have faith you car will start
You just refuse to have faith in God.

You do indeed have a "sarcasim" problem, and it appears to begin with your spelling.
