Unpacking Christian Nationalism: A Journey Through Faith, Politics, and Ethics

Blurring church and state erodes democracy—what begins as religious revival can end as authoritarian rule masquerading in holy garb.

Christian nationalism thrives on fear—of losing majority status, moral decay, and cultural displacement—fueling its political engine.

Inviting “true believers” often masks boundary enforcement—minorities are left out in the name of unity.

When religion becomes a tool for cultural dominance, prayer and worship shift from spiritual grounding to political campaigning.

Military-style “prayer battles” reposition religious practice from introspection to confrontation—framing political opponents as literal enemies.

A vision of a uniform Christian culture suppresses the rich tapestry of diverse faith experiences, undermining genuine spiritual coexistence.

Aligning with xenophobia, patriarchy, and white supremacy contradicts the core teachings of compassion in Christianity.

Faith communities must disentangle faith from politics, resist purity tests, and embrace spirituality rooted in love, not power.
