Occam's Razor is: "Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem." I do not see how that impacts a faith in God. God is a simple explanation for many complex and currently unsolvable problems, like "who set off the Bang". Occam's Razor cannot be used to justify either Theism or Atheism. Anyway, I thought Occam was Christian.
