If tooth fairies don't exist (which is likely) they are ridiculous. However if God exists (which is possible) it is very relevant.

As a member of a religious community (in which the majority are religious) it is the Atheists challenging the status quo, they must justify their beliefs to me.
The primary 'reason' you should believe in the possibility that God exists is that there are so many questions unanswered by science. Most people believe in the possibility of Aliens existing on other planets - why not include God, Angels and Demons in this belief?
The problem with your reasoning here is aliens are actually likely to exist. Life has occurred on Earth, why not on other planets? ( I think algae level life has been found in our solar system, and it is very possible that life exists on Europa ).
If tooth fairies exist, they are relevant also. Your god is no more relevant and no less ridiculous than they are.
