If God exists but doesn't do anything, how would we know? And would it matter?

This video made me think of this question:

It brought me to some questions on the topic. I'm an atheist, but I've said that one specific God that I'm most open minded about is a very hands-off God. That would be a god who created the universe, created the laws of physics, the matter and the energy and then just sat back and said "I'm done; it's all on you from here on."
So, let's say such a god does exist (although, if you want to ask if such a being could exist, that's a legitimate question). What consequences would there be? How would we know it exists? And, again, if such a being died, how would any of us know? And would it matter if this kind of God died?
