If your worldview were universally majority

Would it cause anybody to lose their rights in some way?

No but people will always complain

Would people on this forum be affected?

See above

Would there be freedom of religion?

Yes and freedom from religion

Would people be able to express themselves?

Without hate speech, bigotry, sexism, racism they can say whatever they want

Would women be able to wear the clothing that they want

Believe it

How would homosexual people, trans people, nonbinary people fare?

Same as anyone else.

Would anything that people commonly do today be banned, like any books, music, or other media?

How about a heavy fine for posting bullpoop on the internet.

As a Christian socialist, I would welcome a highly centralized government. And I would prefer the Pope as my leader over anyone that has occupied the WH. Yes, there would be "fallout". Abortion would be banned. We would not have millionaires and billionaires any longer. Private insurance and for-profit hospitals banned. Facebook would be shut down as a threat to national security, among other reasons. The list would go on :). Sounds fun, yes?

Of course hoping for real socialism (let alone Christian) is a pipe dream. We seem determined to kill off each other and the biosphere at all costs. The dollar has won.

1) My political and economic theory leans towards Rawlsian social contract systems. So it will have strong social justice components to it within a capitalist system that is embedded in a liberal democracy. But the policies would be evidence based and if some rights are sacrificed for promoting greater social justice, then this has to be justified through evidence.
2) Unlikely.
3) Yes. But all ideologies have to be able to tolerate dissent and criticism from within and without. No attempt to stifle dissent by force will be tolerated. In the same vein no ideology or group can be a target of violence.
4) Yes. But speech that incites violence will not be tolerated.
5) All ppl will be free to wear anything whatsoever or nothing if they want to in public places.
6) Very well
7) There will large taxes and restrictions on activities that harm the environment or can be threat to others (using fossil fuels, nor recycling, owning guns for pleasure, reasonable curbs on intoxicants, maybe some restrictions on how much meat is produced etc.) In all cases the curbs will be based on evidence that actual harms are happening and the policy will actually be helpful without unduly inconveniencing people.

I tend to be more far-left socialist, so my focus would be on a system of production which would ensure that everyone would, at the very least, have a roof over their heads, sustenance, healthcare, education, and job opportunities.

Some people might see a redistribution of resources as violating the rights of wealthy people to hoard as much as they can while exploiting the working classes. But in fact, they would have the same rights and access to resources as anyone else. If they're living as well as the average working class person, then I wouldn't see that as any genuine violation of their human rights (even if they're not living in some luxury mansion with servants to carry out their every whim).

I don't believe in "free stuff" either (as many criticize socialism on that point, but that's not really what socialism entails). Everyone should have a job and serve some sort of useful purpose for society, except for those who are disabled or retired.

Beyond that, I envision a society where people could live freely, do whatever they wish as long as it doesn't harm others. People can wear whatever they want, love however/whoever they want. I support freedom of religion, as well as freedom from religion, along with a strict separation of church and state.

My worldview is to stay out of each others way as much as possible.
As long as you are not harming someone else, no problems.

I suspect the only change would be a little less judgement in the world.

Hah! When I take over I will be as judgmental as heck. I won't do anything about it, nor advocate that anyone else does. About the furthest I will go is to say "You want to put what where?!?!?!

I always cringe a bit at the word 'rights', because generally speaking it merely means 'things which I feel entitled to'.
Just as a frame of reference, most people here in Brazil would cringe at the thought that being able to own an AR-15 could count as a right.

So yes, a lot of people would lose rights.

1) I support abortion rights, but not late term abortions.
2) I support gun rights, but in a quite limited manner: yearly training required, must be an adult, can't have criminal records, one gun per person not more, only revolvers and pistols, and so on and on.
3) I support tax exemption for charities, but not for churches.
4) I oppose the USA's electoral college.

Would people on this forum be affected?

I am afraid I can't properly comment on this without risking breaking a rule.
Let's just say that I wouldn't need to be afraid of breaking a rule if people agreed with me and leave it at that.

Would there be freedom of religion?

Most certainly, yes.

Would people be able to express themselves?

Most certainly, yes. More openly than now.

Would women be able to wear the clothing that they want?

Most certainly, yes.

How would homosexual people, trans people, nonbinary people fare?

I support anti-discrimination laws.

Would anything that people commonly do today be banned, like any books, music, or other media?

No. Just no.
