Personally, I think that people who go around looking for answers and proof and basically just trying to confirm their own opinions, whatever those may be, are missing the whole point. (And I just want to make clear that I'm not referring to you here, so please don't take offense).
It just seems like all the major historical figures who have had real positive impact on the world were the ones who just lived, and yes they did spread their truths as they had come to know them, but they didn't go around trying to get the best of everybody and trying to turn everybody to their way of thinking. All they did was spread a spiritual truth and they got nothing but grief for it because so many people (theists and atheists alike) simply want to be right rather than find the truth.
The truth is we will never know who Jesus really was because first, we don't have enough reliable records of his life to determine whether or not he even existed let alone whether biblical accounts are accurate. Second the people who could actually make headway in solving the riddle, that is assuming of course that the riddle can be solved, either want the Bible to be true or want it to be false. No one wants the truth they all just want the comfort of their belief systems.
So, yes I do think there would be social repercussions if this theory was somehow proven true, maybe even serious repercussions. Ultimately, though I think that it could possibly lead to an end of religion altogether if the Christian populace deconverted to atheism. Personally, I will just search for spiritual truth regardless of any proofs discovered.
