Stop Christian Nationalism

In contradiction of the Christian Bible's claims that an all-powerful god will soon give all the political power on Earth to Christians, Christianity is on the decline in America. In order to avoid the cognitive dissonance inherent in Christian decline, the Republican Party has enshrined bizarre religious conspiracy theories in the 2024 GOP Platform, addressing a supposed international conspiracy...

Now, Biden is saying that he will only step aside as the Democratic presidential nominee if “the Lord Almighty” tells him to do it. That’s not how American democracy is supposed to work. When Louisiana forced every public school classroom to post commands for all the state’s children to obey the god of the Christian Bible, Joe Biden did nothing. He said nothing. When Oklahoma required every public...

A listener to the podcast leaves a comment saying that the majority of Christians oppose Christian Nationalism, and so the podcast is being unfairly negative about Christianity in general. So first, THANK YOU for leaving a comment. Democracy thrives on disagreement and discussion. The alternative to Christian Nationalism is not any particular ideology, but an open space in which ideas can be discu...

Christian Nationalists say that the United States needs an absolute leader to lead with strength that is unrestrained by the law. That’s why the Christian Nationalist majority on the US Supreme Court ruled yesterday that Donald Trump has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution even as an ex-President. The idea of presidential immunity is found nowhere in the US Constitution, however. The Ameri...

For a few years now, I have been warning that the United States has been moving toward an authoritarian, fascist takeover by politicians linked with extremist Christian Nationalism. America dodged a bullet in 2021 when Donald Trump was prevented from his attempt to overthrow the federal government of the United States of America. Today, an attack from Christian Nationalist totalitarianism against...

Two days ago, Ryan Walters, Oklahoma’s Christian Nationalist superintendent of public instruction, announced that the state government of Oklahoma is going to go ahead with plans to create the St. Isidore of Sienna Catholic Virtual School despite Oklahoma Supreme Court orders not to do so. Oklahoma state law HB1775 prohibits any books or other educational materials that might cause a student to “f...

The St. Isidore government Christian school was so thoroughly religious that its bylaws explicitly prohibited more than two non-Catholics from occupying seats on its board of directors. This was a public school that was set up to be directed by the Catholic Archbishop of  Oklahoma City and the Catholic Bishop of Tulsa, with no religious dissent allowed – not even from Protestant Christians. T...

Half of The Ten Commandments amount to commands that people worship the Jewish tribal god Jehovah, and no other gods. That’s ironic, because Christians worship Jesus, who is not Jehovah. Christianity itself violates the Ten Commandments. Governor Landry claimed that it’s necessary to post the Ten Commandments in every public school classroom because the Ten Commandments are the foundation of Ameri...

Patricia Lage's belief that witches make fortune cookies is part of a larger theme within American Christian Nationalism that refuses to accept that anything good can come from any culture other than white protestant Christianity. That's why Patricia Lage, a spiritual advisor to Donald Trump, believes that yoga is witchcraft, and dream catchers are witchcraft, and hypnosis is witchcraft, and yes,...

Christa Sullinger of Garrett, Indiana is pushing for public school resources to be used to take students away from education to attend Christian religious indoctrination sessions run by LifeWise, but she says the reason she wants public schools to give way to Christian proselytization, however, is that her 10 year-old son plays baseball on Sundays instead of going to church. Christian Nationalists...

Donald Trump wants his followers to see him in the role of Jesus, introducing angels, demons, and even crucifixion into his fictionalization of his trial. Of course, no witnesses in any of Donald Trump’s trials have been literally crucified. They have been asked questions. They have been asked to tell the truth. Donald Trump's supporters never question him because to them, he has become a religiou...

Dave Leach has identified himself as the Secretary General of the Army Of God, a significant position of leadership within this Christian terrorist organization. Members of the Army Of God have openly acknowledged their involvement in terrorist activities. Army of God member Clayton Waagner stated it plainly, admitting, "They’re right. I am a terrorist." As a consequence of his terrorist activitie...

Flying the Christian Nationalist Appeal To Heaven Flag, the Pine Tree Flag, along with an upside down Stars and Stripes flag, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito made a statement that he wants to see the end of American democracy, to be replaced by a Christian Nationalist theocracy with Donald Trump in charge. There are consequences for having a Christian Nationalist who prejudges religious liberty...

Imagine being a 24 year-old woman, and you have only been allowed one night away from your fundamentalist preacher father, who says you're filled with demons. On the day you plan to make your escape, your mother confronts you. What happens next?

Most of us understand how history actually works. One event follows another. We can’t go back to the past, and we cannot foretell the future. Christian Nationalist supporters of Donald Trump see it another way. They believe that there is only one story that matters, the story of the Bible. So, they reinterpret the rest of reality to fit within that monotheistic story. When reality fails to comply,...

The way that you treat your dogs shows a lot about your character. Republican Christian Nationalist Kristi Noem kills her puppy with a gun. Iowa Faith Leader Coalition member Kelley McAtee advises her dog training clients that their pooches might be harboring the spirit of Satan. Donald Trump, for his part, refuses to be house trained, throwing cheeseburgers at the wall, shouting at his aides, and...

This episode of Stop Christian Nationalism begins a new series investigating Donald Trump’s top religious supporters, beginning with Tom Sooter, an Iowa preacher who reinterprets world history according to biblical scripture in order to promote the idea that we are on the verge of World War III. Are anti-Israel, pro-Gaza protesters falling into a trap of his religious nationalism?

In 2023, the Trump campaign hired Christian Nationalist Jackson Lane to recruit Christian Nationalists from across Iowa into a new part of the Trump political machine called the Iowa Faith Leader Coalition. The Iowa Faith Leader Coalition included many Christian Nationalists who have been telling their followers that there is a supernatural war taking place across America, with Donald Trump at the...

Preachers from the Iowa Faith Leader Coalition are telling us that if Donald Trump is elected, people who refuse to obey their churches will be punished. Right now, there is a network of at least 300 churches in Iowa alone that is working to make this destruction of American democracy happen. How many other churches are part of this criminal conspiracy nationwide? A speech and press release in Cor...

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson signed a statement demanding the punishment of all non-Christians, then called for an end to American democracy. Speaker Johnson called on American politicians to follow the Christian god instead of the will of the people

Many Christian sects believe that the practice of scientific medicine is unholy and should be completely replaced exclusively by prayer. They believe that parents should not take their children to see doctors, even when they are dangerously ill. Under Donald Trump and Project 2025, these Christian sects could have the power to use the new federal government Bureau of Religious Medicine to restrict...

Project 2025 makes the following declaration about what it regards as the proper role of individual freedom in the United States of America: “When the Founders spoke of “pursuit of Happiness,” what they meant might be understood today as in essence “pursuit of Blessedness.” That is, an individual must be free to live as his Creator ordained—to flourish. Our Constitution grants each of us the liber...

Christian Nationalists like Candace Owens and Matt Walsh lie to their audiences, with wild conspiracy theories about Satanic plans by Target to attack America’s children with Pride Month merchandise. Instead of standing against Christian Nationalism’s antigay bigotry, Target executives have allowed Christian terrorists to take control of their company.

This episode analyses speeches given by US Representatives Mary Miller, Diana Harshbarger, Andrew Clyde, and Rick Allen on the floor of the United States Congress. One by one, these Christian Nationalist politicians used the concept of faith to attack democracy and call for an end to religious freedom in the United States.

Christian Nationalist Nazis are engaged in violent attacks on America’s streets, and Christian Nationalist supporters of Donald Trump are promoting bizarre conspiracy theories about mermaids. So why are Democrats like Eric Adams and Kathy Hochul promoting Christian Nationalism within the Democratic Party?
