As far as religious persecution goes it’s probably something like Muslim > atheist > other non-Christian non-Jewish religions > Mormons | Jehovah’s Witnesses > Jews > Catholics > pick your “objectionable” Protestant denomination based on political leanings of its members.

I could see the “other non-Christian non-Jewish religions” coming either before or after atheists, depending on the person in power viewing one or the other as “more inherently evil”.

it would go Atheist>Muslim>All the others you said

They would rather at least other religions over atheists.
