No one is left to need god as an explanation.
No one is left to need god for guidance.
No one is left to need god for morals.
No one is left to need god for reward or punishment.
No one is left to give god praise and worship.
Makes me believe that god just appeared when humans needed the concept and will disappear just as quickly when there is no need.
Francis told me dogs go to heaven now, so I guess he needs to be around to judge them.

Judge how, obedience trial?

Min, what if God like Yahweh W. exists who erases minds of atheists, is he a God you wouldn't Mind to exist?
What if "God" was a banana and pickle sandwich? Or a left-handed golfball? The only limit is your imagination in this game.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Bullshit. We all know that all dogs go to heaven. 
To answer the OP, with no assed to he blown out of, of course he'd cease to exist.

Of course it would, it's only ever existed in the minds of humans anyway. God wasn't an issue when T-rex was knocking around. The only point to God (as it has always been) is to fill in gaps in the Knowledge of human beings.
Unfortunately there is always going to be a space for God to exploit as we will never know how or why everything exists, but thankfully that space has decreased sufficiently for God to be of no concern to a growing number of people.

Hey pal, it's your fucking fairy tale. You can make him shit gold nuggets in big piles if you want him to. As for me, I have no use for such silly fantasies.

I myself don't understand why there is a point in over dramatic and bitter afterlife of endless serving, even if its exists. Just asking how you feel about the gentle Yahweh who erases rebels.

Deut 7
Seems like a real dick to me.

I don't even have the words to describe how incredibly dangerous that would be.

As long as cats exist, earth will always have a life form that thinks it's God.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
