No, in fact the Bible says:
There is a way which seems right unto man, but in the end it leads to death!

Depends whether you're a traditional or a quantum physicist, really. Quantum physics has shown that, illogical as this sounds, an electron behaves liike a particle if you expect it to be a particle, and like a wave if you expect it to be a wave, which essentially means that the act of observing something with a set of expectations can actually change what a thing is, or even whether it is.
If that's the case, then it could also be the case that if you look at the world with the expectation of a god, then you'll see evidence of the god you're expecting. If you look expecting a natural process, you'll see a natural process. Like the wave and the particle, maybe, just maybe, the world can be both at the same time, and it only depends upon your personal view which it behaves like in your personal case.

No more than simply believing in something makes it true.
We each have a subjective view of the world since it is only our world which we see. If your view of the world is bounded by God then that is how your world will appear to you. Not everybody shares the same viewpoint however so subjectively their will always be differences.
It is the search for objectivity which denies God. No objective proof is possible to show that a supernatural being does not exist since by definition the supernatural being is outside our framework but it should be possible for objective proof to be provided which confirms the nature and existence of the supernatural being or else it can never be determined if the supernatural being is either an objective reality or a construct of imagination.

I feel that if a person doesn't believe in somthing, that, makes it untrue to him that doesn't believe. Just like the athiest don't believe in God ,but that doesn't make it not true because we know that God is true. So we have to mentally deal with people and their beliefs because thats how they feel and believe.

There are some limited situations where that's the case. The idea of a self-fulfilling prophecy falls in that category.
However, speaking broadly, no. The reverse is also true; no matter how much you believe in something, that alone cannot make it true.

No. Nor does the simple act of believing in something make it true.

Well, someone could park on a railroad track and not believe in the train that is hurtling towards him at 50 mph. I think he might regret it though.

No. You can disbelieve in oxygen but that doesn't make it "untrue".

No, but believing in something doesn't make it true either.
The door always swings both ways.

Of course not it has to be untrue first then you believe it is untrue and it will be.
