Can go both ways but you two are correct by far.
There is a spirit of perverseness that grips the world as a whole, the idea that dishonesty and individual gain is the key to success. Many idiots would worship Satan. Assuming this real god is somewhat similar to the Christian ideology, we'd have satanists and Faustian pacts in the mix as well, entirely new problems.
Other than simply a "yolo" mentality that would be shared by much of the world due to a new found lack of fear. People can be crazy assholes, and even if god was real, people would still misinterpret and argue over his word. The would be no cease to the violence. The denial would be real as well. What if God reveals that Jesus was a false prophet? The catholic church would not take this lightly; human culture has centuries of tradition behind many religions, and I doubt they would all simply "give up" their beliefs if god decided to come down to earth.
And to those who say that many groups would try to court the favors of god, and he would listen; is this not against the very notion of a higher being? To suggest that once he came he would simply pick and choose his favorites goes against the ideals of many of the world's religions.
The existence of god does matter; and if he should I am sure the lasting effects on Earth would be less than ideal.
