Labels, labels and more of them.
Actually it is not defined at all by Christians, but spoken of by atheists, Islamists and other kooky types.
I spent time learning this.
What is Christian nationalism?
There is no clean and tidy definition of Christian nationalism since it is not a formal religious denomination or sect with a stated doctrine of beliefs; nor is there any single person or council leading Christian nationalism that oversees followers.
Generally, religious scholars, sociologists and
others who study Christian nationalism describe it as a belief that the United States is a country defined by Christianity. In practice, this means:
- The government should take steps to keep the country’s Christian roots and identity intact.
- The government should advocate Christian values and pass laws and enact policies that reflect those values.
- The separation of church and state is not a formal law that should be followed.
- God’s plan is for the U.S. to be a successful nation based in Christian ideals.
Sociologists Andrew Whitehead and Samuel Perry
used survey data of people responding to questions around those prompts and described people more accepting of them as supportive of Christian nationalism. Their work defines it as being more about political outcomes than a specific belief in religion and spirituality.
The term Christian nationalism is often used to describe another person’s political and religious beliefs rather than as a label someone uses for themself.
