Not really, if we suppose a right wing violent take over, the first people oppressed would be liberals, Jews like Ben Shapiro, and atheist like Richard Spencer would probably do well. In the age of Trump, all that matters is you toe the party line, not your religious affiliations, or lack there of.

I support secular governments. Christianity in its original conception lacked any political power, or even pretense of acquiring it, and it was far more admirable and radical in that form, then once it took the thrown from Rome.
