R2d2 did bring up a good point when he said that understanding gravity (believing in it)/having faith in what is known is how we can put things and people in orbit. If one does not have faith in what is known, flight would not be possible let alone space travel.
Like wise you can not believe in God for a time, or rather all the time we have been given in this life. However once this life is over your disbelief will not save you. Just like in the case of disbelief in gravity, you still will be affected. Because all are subject to God's judgement once your time here is over.
But that requires a god to exist in the first place, which you are yet to show is the case.
