Is this like the whole...."Why didn't God stop the shooting?" "Why would he?...He isn't allowed in schools anymore." thing?
If it didn't require belief then there would never be anything bad happen. Belief is necessary. You have to have faith. You can't win the lottery without buying a ticket. And you can't get into heaven without believing in God.
The reason you need to have faith is because we must all make a commitment to him. Then he rewards that faith.
