It would be ironic if you knew how to actually USE the word ironic correctly.

In the Summa theologiae Aquinas records his famous five ways which seek to prove the existence of God from the facts of change, causation, contingency, variation and purpose. These cosmological and teleological arguments can be neatly expressed in syllogistic form as below:
Way 1
1. The world is in motion (motus).
2. All changes in the world are due to some prior cause.
3. There must be a prior cause for this entire sequence of changes, i.e. God.
Way 2
1. The world is a sequence of events.
2. Every event in the world has a cause.
3. There must be a cause for the entire sequence of events, i.e. God.
Way 3
1. The world might not have been.
2. Everything that exists in the world depends on some other thing for its existence.
3. The world itself must depend upon some other thing for its existence, i.e. God.
Way 4
1. There are degrees of perfection in the world.
2. Things are more perfect the closer they approach the maximum.
3. There is a maximum perfection, i.e. God.
Way 5
1. Each body has a natural tendency towards its goal.
2. All order requires a designer.
3. This end-directedness of natural bodies must have a designing force behind it. Therefore each natural body has a designer i.e. God.

Ironic isn't the word which I would choose; I'll settle for surprising. After all, the only reason that atheists don't believe in god is a lack of evidence; present some, and most anyone will believe it. But, lotsa luck trying.

Irony is not involved here. You misunderstand the word "ironic". You are actually employing sarcasm, not irony. For something to be ironic, there needs to be some incongruous disruption to the normal course of events.
"Would it be ironic to Christians if Atheists were right?" That, sir, would be ironic.

Wouldn't it be ironic if God exists but he's not the one you've been worshiping? Now that would be funny.

i agree with the others, it's wouldn't be ironic. it would be a mistake. what would be ironic is if for a believer to end up in hell and an atheist ends up getting into heaven.

Actually all the Gods are real. I had a bunch of them drop by last weekend. Your is still stuck under the couch for some reason. He should not have gotten into that mead chugging contest with Thor.
