Just think about the shift of power overnight.

That's quite a rosy view. What would really happen is that the government and media would foster a healthy outrage and panic among the populace. I would imagine it would be big enough in America to get a Constitutional Amendment on the books.
I can't imagine it going much differently in Britain.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
