Suppose through some kind of "message to the planet Earth" we learnthat there has never been is not now and never will be an after life. Mankind learns this is the only truth and nothing else is included in "The Message". We never now what the source of the message is only that it is undeniably the only truth. The only life in the universe is here and it ends here. Now mankind must adapt to this change. What will life be like ten years, one hundred years, etc. after "The Message"?
If you revealed incontestable proof that the after-life and by extension the majority of religious faiths on this planet were false and did it in a single thunderclap moment I can only imagine the disruption it would cause. I think you would have violence, crippling existential depression for millions, and the collapse of massive institutions like the Catholic Church.
