Well, I really don't know.  Presumably it would effect you at least to the degree that assuming you are in a position to reject god proposals affects your life, whatever that might be.

Well, like Mister Agenda just said, accepting we can't know everything and asserting that there is some "thing" out there, are two different positions. I'm inclined to reject positive God claims due to lack of evidence and human reason. I don't think that's so unreasonable. [emoji39]
