The idea is Christ supposed to free people into a direct relationship with God, and so free you from sin, death and all that business. So it's not technically supposed to enslave anyone.
"You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32
If atheism is right and God doesn't exist then we're about as free as organic robots determined by physically determined processes/stimulus as understood by science.

Religion will exist for as long as humanity asks the big questions, seeks social/community/family bonds and undergoes the process of death.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
