Well, Communist Russia from 1920-1990 offers the best glimpse, since they were ruled by atheistic autocrats for the duration of the Soviet Union. Alexandr Solzhenitsyn also gives us a glimpse of what it would be like if you read "The Gulag Archipelago". I agree with another comment on here that the USA is pushing hard and fast towards no freedom of religion. Humanism and evolution are the locomotives for that.

There would probably be a lot of underground and persecuted churches.

Similar to the old days when the Church slaughtered people for not converting. People would have to hide alternative faiths. And Atheist would be underground…. writing anti-religion literature and broadcasting on an anonymous radio station to anyone that’s brave enough to listen.

Well that would depend on which religion ruled America. If it were Christians the world would of already ended. As they and the muslims would have dueled it out openly. Religious ruled countries usually end up violating all human rights and inventing a a few new ones to violate just for good measure. Religion is the bane of the human race and it is probably the single most cause of why every just cant get along.

Google the Spanish Inquisition and the Crusades. That would give a pretty good idea.

There would be no freedom of thought, because people would be told what to believe. Society wouldn’t progress because they would be stuck in a dogmatic lock from religion. Much like how Galileo was burned at the steak by the Pope for suggesting that he scientifically found that the Earth wasn’t the center of the universe. He was the father of Heliocentrism.
