Societal Changes Resulting from Atheists: The Greatest Threat to America

The movie, Atheists: The Greatest Threat to America, heavily changed society and societal culture as a result of its abnormally large box office (which is the biggest of all-time). In the alternate 2020s, America transforms from moderately right-wing to hardline, ultra-conservatism interlaced with Christian Fundamentalism. The following is a partial compilation of societal trends resulting from its May 2024-December 2025 release according to polls taken from 2027 and 2028:


 * The percentage of Americans identifying as "pro-life" goes from 40% to 85%.
 * Female clothing trends revert back to pre-1970s styles (i.e., dresses, skirts, no pants/trousers).
 * Americans identifying their religious beliefs as "none" decreases from 30% to 15%.
 * Resulting in Mike Pence's election in November 2024, young-earth creationism is taught in public schools over evolution.
 * The New IFB, started by Baptist pastor Steven Anderson, gains popularity by the millions.
 * Documentarian Paul Wittenberger (also in the film) releases New IFB documentaries biannually to the theaters. These documentaries could previously be seen on YouTube but were taken down and edited for theatrical release. Societal trends suggest that New IFB movies become "the next Marvel Cinematic Universe."
 * Gun ownership increases
 * The use of corporal punishment/spanking/whipping becomes the disciplinary norm, described by Jerry Falwell Jr. as "something not seen since the 1980s."
 * Marijuana is re-criminalized.
 * The number of children receiving vaccinations significantly lowers.
 * In 2028, only ~20% of American adults believe in manmade climate change.
 * 45% of Americans believe the universe is between 6,000 and 12,000 years old.
 * Daily prayer is recited in many public schools, although not yet mandated.
 * The LGBT are perceived as "threats to children and 'society in general.'"
 * Same-sex marriage is "out of the question." In this alternate future society, it is re-criminalized in 2022 after the reelection of President Donald Trump.
