If it helps to imagine, rather than proof god doesn't exist (and consider my version an add-on to GD's so I don't undercut him), how about if you received proof that god exists but you were completely wrong about its fundamental nature.
Say, it shows up, offers convincing evidence of who it is but says "Yes, I invented the universe but I moved on to other projects immediately afterward. There is no afterlife and all religions founded on earth have been entirely human constructions. Nothing you all do matters in the slightest to me, I was just cleaning a closet and stumbled across this old project so I thought I'd drop in. Boy did evolution go in a completely different direction than I expected. Anyway, ta ta for now, might stop by again some day."
What does that do to your moral behavior.
