Yes — the constitution was built (albeit with flaws, such as the nod to chattel slavery) to work for a people having general Christian principles.
America would need to see a revival to survive in Constitutional form. It might well see a revival, not because of its own sake, but for the sake of one more demonstration of the glory of the Lord in salvation before the Holy Spirit goes bye-bye along with a raptured body of Christ.
As for autocratic — just ask: how many years has Russia depended on Vladimir Putin? How has he solidified his control? If a closet gay manages to worm his way up, Russia could go gay-gay overnight when Putin croaks.

Russian Laws on homosexuals/homosexual propaganda / homosexual proselytizing/ are on the books whether Putin is around or not.
Ever read the process one must undergo if one desires sex change surgery in Russia? Very stringent.
