Stop Christian Nationalism

How on Earth did Nick Fuentes become so politically influential? He’s been successful in promoting himself by being outrageous. What Fuentes says is genuinely outrageous. We should be outraged by it, but what do we do with that outrage? If Nick Fuentes is building his political reputation through outrage, can we speak about our outrage without promoting Fuentes himself?

The midterm elections of 2022 are over, but local elections are happening across the USA sooner than you think. Christian Nationalists are organizing to take over school boards and city councils to impose their violent unforgiving religious zealotry on the rest of us. Their Christian Nationalism is historically ignorant, prophetically incoherent, and terrifyingly hateful, but we can’t count on Chr...

Christian Nationalist politicians from coast to coast claimed that they had the all-powerful god of Christianity on their side. A few of them, like Marjorie Taylor Green, lucked out, but the heavenly mandate failed to show up for most, like Pennsylvania loser for Jesus Doug Mastriano. Still, Oklahoma’s Christian Nationalist Governor Kevin Stitt was re-elected, and now he says that the whole state...

It’s the day before the midterm elections of 2022, and Christian Nationalist preachers are calling for the use of force to compel Americans to convert to Christianity. Christian prophet Julie Green threatens that US President Joe Biden will be shot dead, and Christian Nationalist Stephen Wolfe wants women to lose the right to vote.

New research from Pew shows that the majority of American Christians are Christian Nationalist. 79 percent of American Christians say they want the Christian bible to shape the American government, but that’s not how democracy works. Real American history shows that founders like Thomas Paine wanted freedom from religion.

Christian Nationalism comes in screaming crazy antisemitic extremism and in gently spoken demands that members of Congress stop following false gods. We explore the full gamut of Christian Nationalism’s manifestations, and its brutal history in the English Civil War.

Geoffrey Grider says that god wants the world to burn. Kari Lake says that Jesus suffered from name calling. Steven Lawson preaches loving hate. What about the microchips of Satan in electric cars?

When Christian Nationalist Chuck O’Neal of Beaverton, Oregon demands that parents be put in prison and have their children taken away for violating Christian biblical law, he is only repeating the violent extremism of Christian Nationalism under Spanish fascist dictator Francisco Franco in the 20th century.

Rebecca Mastriano, the wife of Doug Mastriano, who is the Republican Party candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, has argued that democracy must die and has cited an antisemitic bible verse used by the Nazis to justify the Holocaust, accusing Jews of being part of a Synagogue of Satan. Did you know Billy Graham and Richard Nixon used to have jam sessions about the Synagogue of Satan too? Yes, the...

This week, I want to take a break from warning you about the dangers of Christian Nationalism to telling you about the delights of a world free of Christian Nationalism. When I hear the word “delight”, my mind leaps to things that feel good in an immediate sense. There is certainly plenty of that in a life free of the harsh control of Christian Nationalism. Sex, for example, can feel pretty good f...

The story Senator Josh Hawley told about the destruction of the temple of Serapis made it sound as if the violent mob of Christian vandals that destroyed the temple of Serapis were making a brave stand against Emperor Julian, an anti-Christian tyrant. Actual history shows that’s not at all what happened.

We can fall into the trap of supposing that Christian Nationalism is only there when the people who express it are shouting wildly out in the streets. In fact, Christian Nationalism is expressed both by raving fanatics and by political insiders who manifest the extremist ideology in subtle ways. Connecting these different manifestations of Christian Nationalism is a consistent ideology, a politica...

It’s easy to think sometimes that all we need to do to defeat Christian Nationalism is to defeat the Republican Party. After all, the most extreme Christian Nationalists are Republicans. This week, however, a speech by Democratic President Joe Biden embraced the fundamental perspective of Christian Nationalism. Democrats in Congress are introducing Christian Nationalist legislation. This podcast e...

Baptist preacher Bill Grady threatens to fill one billion body bags with the bodies of non-Christians. Christian Nationalists are planning to commit genocide at a scale that the world has never seen before.

Christian Nationalism isn’t content to just accept the word of the bible. New prophets of Christian Nationalism claim to have word straight from the Christian god, and what they are saying ought to terrify those who believe in peace and democracy.

Ceremonial Deism an imaginary government religion made up by the Supreme Court in order to justify the promotion of Christian nationalism through the power of government. Judges invented the concept of Ceremonial Deism in order to justify the government establishment of religion in open defiance of the First Amendment, which clearly states that government establishment of religion is not allowed....

Republican US Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers has introduced a bill in Congress to create a National Year of Humiliation. Donald Trump says he wants to destroy American public schools to make way for Christian indoctrination. Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick says that the Christian god wrote the Constitution, and that Democrats are in league with demons. What can we do in the face of su...

American Nazis mingled with Christian nationalists at the Turning Point USA meeting in Florida last week, while Donald Trump and Andrew Torba commanded Americans to fall on their knees to worship the Christian god. Nick Fuentes and Louie Gohmert add their demands for an end to American democracy. We deconstruct the strange claims that Christian nationalism is somehow an imposter Christianity, and...
