The atheist worldview, if there can be said to be such a thing, would be along the lines of "don't believe in god claims until there is evidence to do so". The discovery of the existence of a god would be the ultimate evidence. As such, far from being a huge blow it would actually confirm that position. I would just find the situation depressing, from a personal perspective, especially if the god proven was the hair-trigger psychopath of Abrahamic tradition. It would have a lot to answer for, whichever it turned out to be.
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.'
