(Yes the gun thing would get me. My response was a quote.)

Religion being made illegal would get some of the Christians to rise up ... not the meek "love your neighbor" social relativist types, though ... the heartland, fundy types ... Good preacher could stir them up into action.

Which is at least in part what happened during the Revolution, wasn't it?

It would take a lot of Martyrs to really get the critical mass necessary for an actual revolution ... but it might never build. If the media paints every single one of these uprisings as the actions of David Koresh-like kooks, the whole movement fizzles and dies.
