As with every majority issue arise. Discrimination against the minority is one them. Since atheists hold on to the notion people who have a belief are delusional, poor, uneducated, incapable of grasping science and mathematics, are easily manipulated, need something to believe in, and are easily addicted (opiate of the masses) how would these sentiments come into play if atheists were in the minority?
Sure law and civil rights laws are a factor, however what of opinions, stereotypes, and perceptions. Even homosexuals will tell you that although they are protected by laws, they still must deal with negative opinions. It is changing now, but that change is currently happening, there is still progress that must be made.
So what if the population of atheists grew to a majority? How would that affect jobs, housing, and political representation of theists?
