And why is this so?
Does the atheist man embrace the all powerful state as a replacement to the God he does not believe in?
Apparently so.
And so a world of atheism will mean a world that is not free and I don't want it.
Mostly because we don't want Christian laws being enforced on us. We generally differ on economic policy, though, some rejecting state power and identifying as libertarian.
General rule for the two major American political parties is that one wants strict government control over moral/ethical rules and lax regulation for economic concerns. The other party wants lax control over moral issues while strict regulations in place for the economic sector. Neither one is anarchy and neither one is tyranny.
