As you implied in a different post, it's just a matter of accepting that God didn't just create humans.
In the same sense however, I imagine many will "Find God" in an attempt to ground and calm themselves.
So, it will probably be a wash and end up with little change (as you previously stated) in the overall number of "believers".
I can only imagine the discussions that would take place here.
