If something can be proven it doesn't need belief. This is why the atheist-theist dimension exists. I also like the following story very much:
"Tell me," said the atheist, "Is there a God— really?"
Said the master, "If you want me to be perfectly honest with you, I will not answer."
Later the disciples demanded to know why he had not answered.
"Because the question is unanswerable," said the Master.
"So you are an atheist?"
"Certainly not.
The atheist makes the mistake of denying that of which nothing may be said... and the theist makes the mistake of affirming it.
