Let's say you wake up tomorrow and thete is definitive, concrete evidence that no God exists. How do you feel? How do you live your life? What changes, if anything?

Nothing much would change except that we would recognize that if we want change in the world, it is to mankind to do the changing and we should direct all prayers to ourselves.

We naturally have a default position of cooperation as that serves our survival better than competition. IOW, we are born good and only turn to doing the evil of competing due to how we have set up society.

That is not really a complaint because without both cooperating and competing, as required, is how the fittest comes to be known.

I don't think the existence or nonexistence of God is particularly critical or even all that important to the survival of religions. I'm not sure that such a proof would really fundamentally change much at all.

If a god were proven to be real, which can only be done by his popping up, I think it would change us all.

But I do agree generally with you as religions are created for other reasons and the main one seems to be to appease our tribal natures and need for fellowship.
