Then I would believe.
Your friends who say they won't believe God is real even if demonstrated to exist don't sound like they're making much sense. Maybe they mean they wouldn't 'believe in' God the same way they wouldn't believe in a tyrannical depot...not that the despot wouldn't exist but they wouldn't put their trust/faith in the despot. One could believe God is real without believing God is worthy of worship.
Of course, if God turned out to be real, I think there's a good chance he's been misrepresented. I stopped believing the Bible is a good source of information about God long before I stopped believing in God altogether.
