i'd go with the head chopping as long as the blade wasn't dull. i actually had a friend that converted to islam from atheism and he's a total whack job now and beats his wife so i'll pass on islam.

It depends on the situation but in general I'd see this as losing a battle but not the war and convert. Then behind the scenes I'd be doing everything I could possibly to change this and bring about a world of religious noncoercion, humans rights, and intellectual freedom. As a teacher I would expose my students to things that might make them think about their beliefs and challenge them to the degree I could. I would raise my children to know they may need to appear to believe it all to survive but that such a system is corrupt and dishonest and thus can only survive by force and fear so that they would also be agents for change. Stuff like that.

Convert and strive to reinstitute religious freedom for all. By the way, Islam is one of the least desirable of all relgions, it ranks in the top 10 on the "made up o'meter" and there is nothing about the countries that practice it to make it look appealing.

Good question. I suppose it would depend on the circumstances. If we were actually faced with that choice, then society would've reached a stage at which nobody had any real freedom, and the only noble thing to do would be to go down fighting to get it back.
That goes for Islam, Christianity, etc, and even for atheism itself. When an ideology is being forced on people, it's their duty to fight it off.

I'd convert to Islam but secretly I'd still be an atheist.

I'd get my head chopped off, ideally.

Convert to save my life. The answer would be the same if you replaced Islam with Christianity.
