That your beliefs, lack of beliefs, way of life, ethics, set of morals or values was patently false and an idiotic concept?
Would you keep them anyways or look for something new?

Kenshin Himura;
Relativism has actually been proven to be a laughable argument based on the fact that this argument, as well as the one you gave would be relative to each other and therefore it would be pointless for me to have even refuted your claim.
It would have also been equally pointless for you to have answered the question at all since all points of view are relative as they are based on values or morals.
we could go even further with your logic and say that no one should learn anything or have any morals because all morals are relative so nothing new is required to further human existence.

First of all, I would challenge this so-called irrefutable evidence, but that's not what you're asking for.
I choose to live the way I live now, simply because it's the way I WANT to live. I live, give, and forgive because it's the way I want to be.

If one had irrefutable proof that one was wrong, a wise one would admit one's incorrectenss and seek to find out what is correct so as to live accordingly.
This is why I am a Buddhist, what I had been taught and what I thought I had discovered I later understood, through logic, reasoning and study to be incorrect.
IN the practice of Buddhism, one must test everything and see what works according to one's personal experience, as the Buddha told us to.
may it all be well with you.

if a supernatural omnipotent and omnicient being revealed himself to humanity, did fantastic miracles to prove his power, then either quoted new rules, or pointed to which of the 2000 religions on the earth was doing it right...
then I'd be a follower.
Until then, I think I'll stick with my evidence based belief system

Being an atheist the only way you can show that my thinking is wrong is to show me evidence that god exists.
If you did that, then I would believe in that god.
You will forgive me if I do not hold my breath while I wait.

If I found out, in other words, that God exists, I would change a lot of what I do - who I am. It still wouldn't encourage me to join any organized religion, however

Ethics, morals and values are relative, so there is no right or wrong.
However if my beliefs are wrong I will change them to what has been proven true.

Probably look for something new. I'm an atheist because of what I found, not just because. We all have to evolve. If new information comes in it would be stupid to ignore it and not incorporate it into a part of who you are.

I am a work in progress.
But everyday my level of awareness accelerates and I move forward.

I really doubt that the idea 'don't hurt people' will ever be shown ridiculous.
