I kind of see this quote as Bertram Russell speaking for believers when he can't. He's not a believer. It'd be like me going to the emergency room with a sick friend and the nurse took my vitals instead of the sick friend's. Quite a different perspective, but then there are all different degrees of faith.

No. It wouldn't be like that at all. It would be difficult for believers to dissect why belief in God is silly. Think about it. Your view is like taking a sick friend to the hospital and your sick friend performs the diagnosis and treatment on himself while the doctor stands idly by because he isn't sick and thus has nothing to offer.
