Wow, first time I've visited this area on Yahoo! and this question is right up my alley!
As a self-saved atheist, I definitely have my opinions, but I truly have the same view as you, "what will all of those theists do when they find out they are wrong?" Well, ... easy answer to that one, you'll never know because the only way for you to know you are wrong is that when you pass away, you will just stop functioning, so too late!
During this time of American history, it seems we have polarized ourselves and are having a hard time meeting in the middle. I'm fine with people having in their own opinions, but when it comes to bashing gay marriage (I'm a happily married heterosexual), stem cell research, abortion issues, and many other issues that hurt people I know, then I have to say I have had it with theists. The question you pose is best answered by turning on yourself, look at the facts (not enough room to go into it here). Read "Misquoting Jesus", "The End of Faith", and "Letter to a Christian Nation", then come back and ask that question again (or email me directly).

I guess it's just sucks for us then.
By becoming an Atheist (witch I am) I'm sort of placing a bet saying "$10 says god dosen't exist." If I lose the bet...I go to your hell...but I don't see me losing.
but to your question...
What will all the atheists do when they find out they are wrong?
Deal with it
will it be too late?
More than likely
r u sure?
Very
final answer?
Yes

What will all the spiritualists think when they're dead, and there is no Heaven, because the Bible/Koran/etc. is a fairytale? That's right, they won't.
Believers like to make this statement:
Suppose you are right. Suppose there is no God. Then when I die as a believer, I have lost nothing. I just die, as a man that devoted his life to love and morals. But if you, as a non-believer, are wrong and I am right, you have to spend an eternity in hell. See, I have nothing to lose, but you have everything to lose.
This argument is best known as Pascal's Wager.
The problem with this line of reasoning is that there are thousands of gods that humans have imagined. A person who believes in Allah can make this statement, and so can a person who believes in God, and so can a person who believes in Vishnu. This multitude of fictional beings shows the silliness of the argument. There is no way to know which god to choose, because there is no evidence whatsoever indicating that any of them exist.
The fact is that religion is delusion. All human gods are imaginary. By believing in an imaginary god, a believer has not "lost nothing." Believers commit themselves to a lifetime of delusion, instead of commiting their lives to reality.
Non-believers, in contrast, live moral and loving lives without having to resort to delusion. Non-believers are normal human beings who embrace reality rather than delusion. As a result, they live much healthier lives.
The fact that there are so many gods proves that all of these gods are imaginary. If there actually were an all-knowing, all-powerful, all-loving "god" in any form, he would be obvious to everyone and we would all align on him. His existence would be undeniable and impossible to hide.

The question is: what will all the Christians say and do when they are wrong? If it were up to me I'd give them a warm welcome into the worlds of Atheists, and throw a massive party. I mean really, this world would be much friendlier and happier place without any form of religion.

What will you do when you find out that God is a Goddess?
And all that time you've been calling her, "Lord"! Embarrassing or what?
What will you do when you find that the Goddess doesn't want churches, or hymns or prayers, or that Sunday isn't the holy day at all, but Esbats and Sabbats are! Embarrassing or what?
Give over imagining that there is only one answer and that you are the only one that has it will you.

If atheists are wrong, then nothing bad will happen, because god loves all his creatures. As long as you lead a good life what does it matter (George W please take note) If the atheists are right then the religious amongst us will never be aware that they paid out their hard earned cash to a bunch of crooks called the church.

The Lord grants us grace in all things. It is only by His loving merciful grace that we are saved from the same condemnation as those who are not given His grace - those you call atheists.

be glad that they will not have to endure smug idiot's like yourself for all eternity.
btw if this "god" of yours is truly all loving would he really have the heart to send anyone to a place of eternal misery?
or is he the vengeful god that human's have merely conjured up?
sorry for the short answer but i must go genuflect to my holy bowl of corn flakes now
