How beliefs affect behavior

[be leaves]

I was reading through the "is there a god thread" and it got me curious about how people act based on their beliefs.. and rather than start yet another tangent on an already uber-long thread, I thought I'd start a new one to ask this question:

To those of you who believe in god:

If someone somehow was able to prove that there was no such thing as any god in any form (just use your imagination.. don't give me 'thats impossible so i dont have to think about it,' just stfu if that's your answer), how would this new information affect who you are and how you go about life? would you say 'screw it' and start killing people you hated? would you be more helpful to society? would you change nothing?


and to the atheists:

The reverse question, if suddenly a string of miracles or god himself coming to you and proving his existence were to occur.. would you suddenly start going to church? would you be nicer, go crazy, change nothing?

let's hear it.
