When something is proved, there is no need to believe, because you will know.
The problem just is, that we are not able to research all the things, and it seems very hard for humans to be able to leave the question open. So we quite easily agree to believe, instead daring to leave the question open.
If something exists, it exists before and after, it has been proved. Earth did go around the Sun a long time before it was proved to do so. The existence of a phenomenon, is not dependent, on it's scientific proof.
So, is it proved, that there is no life outside this planet? And before every corner of this space is researched, you'll have to leave the question open, or otherwise you choose to believe on existence or non existence of alien life form.
Is the existence of God proved or not proved? Do you dare to leave the question open, or do you choose to believe on other of the answers, which may feel correct for you. It may be easier to believe, than live in uncertainty.

Some religious people does not find it at all hard to say, that I believe on God/Gods. They can admit, that they don't know, but they believe.
And atheist can ask him/herself: Do I know, that there is no God/Gods or do I believe, there is no God/Gods?
