If the United States mandated Christianity as the state religion, what would your reaction be? Would you leave the country? Lead a resistance? Quietly follow your own faith in private?

I would defend The Constitution against the establishment of a theocratic dictatorship any way I am able.

Well, I wouldn't make a very good leader of a resistance, but I would resist such an action. Freedom of Religion stands for everyone, not just the majority or because someone claims to be more special than the next.
If my life was in danger because of it, then I would leave the country. I'd also leave the country if Hillary becomes President.

If the US did that, it would be the only country in the world with such a fascist view. Even the Taliban accepted the fact that there were people of other religion in Afghanistan! Even in strong muslim theocratic states, people of other religions are accepted
(my brother in law works in Dubai), they just need to follow muslim laws (by the way, I am not even so sure about that, because I think non-Muslims are not subject to the Sharia).

Listening To George It Sounds Like It Is Mandated.
To Answer Your Question Probably Leave.

IF I was american..... or IF that sort of thing happened here in Britain (bloody unlikely, given the number of Muslim invaders) ... I'd probably just go about life as normal until it started to encroach and interfere.... then I'd resist and object... That is to say I'd carry on normally in spite of it, AND continue to maintain my anti-religious views.... And if things got out of hand... to the point where I couldn't live my life the way I wanted any more..... I'd take my Falchion in one hand and my Geological Hammer in the other... and I'd go on a random killing spree.... to the death.

Socrates said, 'Either follow the laws, or have them changed.'
To take up resistance now after we sat and did nothing while corporations like WalMart sold us to China would seem very silly.
I mean resist something worthwhile like the fact that 'political correctness' has taken our first amendment.

So long as my liberties were not being taken away as a result and I was allowed to, in peace, remain an agnostic I would stay. If I was getting harassed and discriminated against because of my beliefs I would likely move north to Canada which is an extremely nice and friendly country.

Lead a resistance. That breaks so many amendments.

I would quietly follow my religion and also, do everything I could to amend such a decision.
