It seems to me that believers would be more anarchist in nature, and that for many, their belief in God is the thin string that separates them from acting on those impulses.
If it were proven today, beyond the shadow of a doubt to anyone, that there is and always has been a supreme being, I could see Christians gloating and being quite smug, while my fellow atheists graciously accept defeat. Evidence is all most of us require to believe (not worship - believe).
However, if it were proven today, beyond the shadow of a doubt to anyone, that there was, never has been, and never will be a supreme being, I could see my fellow atheists, while probably being quite smug, accepting the fact that they already believe to be true.
Believers, on the other hand, I could see wigging out. Bad. I'm talking about Watts, Reginald Denny, etc. I don't think many Christians could handle the very thought, let alone the reality of there being no god. The result? Anarchy.
Thoughts?
