Don't get me wrong, I do believe in God, but what if we're all wrong? What would you do if you woke up tomorrow and there was undisputable proof that there is no God?

Then there will be a lot of monkeys flying out of peoples backsides!
Besides there is already proof that there is god. When you ask someone how god came into being, they answer "he just exists" (very scientific answer eh!) Yet when you look to our past, fire was something that only the gods could create... Now it is a common tool that even a 4 year old can make. Someday when humans are ready, they will realize too that god was a great moral tool.

It's interesting what someone told me many years back. He has gone to many places in the world and has studied and observed that in countries where there is relatively no religion, it has been prosperous, but in places where religion of any sort thrives, there is conflict. Take Singapore and China for instance, to name just a few. It is easier for them to rule their countries well where there is no national religion. On the other hand, take Israel and the Arab nations where each their particular religion is their law, there is unending conflict. Just his unscholarly observation anyway.
But check out the sites below for some scholarly work and you may see for yourself why my friend had this observation.
So, to answer your question: If we are all wrong and that there is not God, then maybe, just maybe, we may wake up to discover our world a better place.
On the other hand, people tend to destroy what they build, so again, we could find ourselves closer to the end than expected. We would somehow manage to still destroy each other and whatever progress we have made. That's the future for us.

I would not change my life at all. Not only do I believe that Christianity is true, I believe that the Christian lifestyle is the best way to live. There are some pretty simple guidelines and I think that it leads to a better life, regardless of the afterlife.
For example, it is tough to get STD's if you only have sex with one person (your spouse). Many of the rules of the bible (theft, murder, etc) are universally accepted as against societal norms.
The people that I know who live out a Christian lifestyle end up with much better lives than those that do not.

Since I don't believe in a christian god, as you put a capital G I'm going under the assumption that's what you meant, I would continue to live as normal. Now, if you were to shake up my world and say there was proof there were NO gods, I'd be a little fluttered. But since I prefer to look to things in nature, and in pure existence, I don't see me having any problems.
Blessed Be

We'll be fine. People are generally compassionate and loving and do good works.
We are not alone, we are all brothers and sisters on the earth along with the animals and plants. We are lucky to live on a planet crowded with life!
We will work together with our brothers and sisters to reduce suffering, keep the earth a strong habitable place, and be satisfied to seek justice in this life. Knowing that God won't clean up our messes will inspire us to do it ourselves!
We will do good works for the sake of caring and compassion and not out of fear of punishment or desire for a godlike immortality.
We will be humbe and satisfied with the lives we have and use our teamwork and ingenuity try to make our lives longer, more harmonious, and more beautiful.

if there is no god - then we truly are responsible for our actions and as such have no recourse and nobody to blame except for ourselves. For without a God there is no Satan to have given sin to the world.
If that was the case, I think you'd see civilisations fall and nations crumble as the religious backlash effectively destroyed what had been set up for millennia. A society would emerge that was probably technocratic - based upon technology and science rather than faith and religon - but not without a lot of death and pain.
I prefer to accept in a God - it makes better sense than for us to have evolved from a slime puddle.

Then you just deal with it and cope. I don't believe in God, and I believe when I die I just cease to exist. I know it's depressing, but without tangible, hands on proof something exists....I simply can't blindly believe it. So I don't and I'm OK with it.

I would carry on living as I always have and as I always will, except now I would be surrounded by hordes of religious sheep having breakdowns as they can no longer survive without their fairytale to give their lives some meaning.

I've lived all of my life on that assumption. If definite proof were found, my life would only change in that we would stop discussing about this. But my innermost beliefs would not change at all.

well that would be a life changing experience.
but That could never happen seeing as there is already undeniable proof that god does exist (The Bible).
