In short you need just enough to start the ball rolling.
But why would I ever make that leap? Because faith isn't some neutral thing, one doesn't just have a store of spare faith that gets assigned as needed: you have faith in things. Why would I ever play into this case of special pleading by allowing myself faith in your god, when I don't prize faith as a virtuous thing. Faith is just tarted up intellectual laziness.
