If this were true, the "what is a god" would become a very important question to answer, imagine establishing contact with a deity that created the universe. Think of what we could learn.
So, yes, I believe we should act differently. Have I misunderstood pragmatism, too?
The problem is we have no way of knowing that God has interacted or will interact with us. We don't know which religion is right or if any of them are right. We don't know what God expects of us if he expects anything of us. We don't know why he created us. We don't know what he thinks of us. We have no way of verifying that God is communicating with us if we thought he might be (maybe it's just aliens trying to trick us with their fancy technology?).
