Has to be the most overrated dystopian novel ever. Nothing in the book has become anywhere close to reality. The Left luvs to being back Atwood anytime a Republican is in the White House.

The novel actually is sort of close to the practice of Islam.

It is very far off from any Christian sect.

Actually, as PapaBear3625 points out, it is a clear description of life in muzzieland, and has been that way since the mid 600s.

It is the embodiment of the liberal secular fear of a Christian theocracy taking over, ironically, though, liberals ignore Islam’s REAL and multiple theocracies from Saudi Arabia to Iran to Boko Haram to Al Shabab.
Instead, they create a fiction of Christian theocrats making women wear color coded burkas.
