One of my favorite quotes from Nietzche goes something like "If you were to prove God to me, I would believe in Him all the less." Hardly sounds like a detached observer to me.

In defense of Nietzsche, I think he might have meant "believe" in a different sense. One can say believe as in "believe in the existence of", or believe as in "have trust in". I think the statement refers to the latter sense of believe.
