How would I see the world? Very Bitter, Twisted, Confused, Bigoted, Racist, Oppressed, No freedom of speech without fear of re-percussion, the list of doomed thoughts go on and on. If the fundamentalists of each and every religion had to fight for top seat, then all of us Atheists who want to leave in peace would not have to worry, we would all be dead from one huge religious war which we would want nothing to do with. sorry harsh but true.....

At war probably.
But look at what is happening to the churches - people are leaving the church in ever growing numbers each year - even the Catholic church! Indeed in Ireland it is almost a stampede!!!
The fundamentalists are driving good Christians from the church and as the number of good Christians reduces the Fundamentalists take over but then get even more desperate. Because people are put of going to church they then demand the creationism be taught in schools!
The tragedy is that fundamentalism is not Christianity it is ideology and there is a huge difference!!!
I have no doubt there are many good Christians out here but sadly most are too frightened of the fundamentalists and zealots to speak up!!!

Chances are, you'd be wearing a veil, and I'd have no eyes.
It depends on which fundamentalists you're referring to though. Since Christian fundamentalists don't have apocalyptic intentions (well, most of them) and don't believe they've signed contracts with 13th Century Priests, it can be assumed that if a fundamentalist gained power, it would be someone along the lines of Ayatollah Khameini, or even more frightening, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in which case, we'd live under harsh Sharia Law, and non-Muslims, whom were not put to the sword in the initial purging, would live as dhimmis, and have little to no rights until said religion either fought back, or was purged from the earth.
To quote Walid Shoebat, "Christian fundamentalists give you headaches, but Muslim fundamentalists take the head right off."

Then we would be thrown back a thousan years, back to the era of the Crusades! There was a time when religion and priests controlled the world; it was known as the dark ages! May we never revert to such an era!!

From somewhere well away from where they live. I'd go and find a tiny little isolated dot in the middle of nowhere and ignore the ignorant w@nkers.

We'd be living in a totalitarian theocracy. Pretty grim, basically.

much better. Caring for the poor, anti-war, kindness, even to the atheist. You might have to hear about God a little more, but you have to admitt that the kindness ordered in the bible is a lot better than todays world. No one can force you to believe, and Christians do not imprison or kill people that don't.

Probably at war, either with itself or with each other. Not an enthralling prospect!

If the example of the Taliban is anything to go by, very bleak indeed.

If I wasn't in jail or dead first, I'd be heading up a resistance movement.
