Christian nationalism has become a buzzword among conservative activists such as Congresswomen Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, and conservative activist Charlie Kirk. We believe we need to call it what it is: Christian Fascism. For this episode, we had a great conversation with Andrew Griffin and Glen McDaniel, two musicians of faith who are continuously deconstructing the phenomena of White Christian Culture, how it affects our society, and how we may confront this socially learned sickness.
Christian nationalists believe the United States is meant to be a Christian nation and seek to "reclaim" the nation for God. Support for right-wing politicians and social issues, such as immigration, gun, and poverty legislation, is better understood as Christian nationalism rather than evangelicalism per se.
Christian nationalism's fundamental tenets can be summarized as follows:
- The federal government should declare the United States a Christian nation.
- The federal government should advocate Christian values.
- The federal government should not enforce the strict separation of church and state.
- The federal government should allow religious symbols in public spaces.
- The success of the United States is part of God's plan.
- The federal government should allow prayer in public schools.
