That is conjecture based on underestimating humanity. There is some sort of misconception, which makes for great movies, whereby humanity is conceived as weak and unable to handle the unknown. Truth be told, humanity can handle anything thrown at it.
The only time resilience is truly tested is when the theist is confronted by reality. The theist is so ingrained in his belief that when faced with reality he tends to take one of three routes.
First, is cognitive dissonance, which is relatively harmless.
Secondly, he could go the way of violence, whereby he believes that since his god does not exist he is exempt from morality.
Thirdly, he understands the default position in which we are all born before indoctrination: atheism.
