We begin today with Charles Blow of The New York Times pointing out that most Americans don’t know what ‘Christian nationalism” is and, therefore, cannot identify the heresy of the doctrine with attempts to rewrite American history.
A survey published in October by Pew Research Center found that most American adults had never heard anything about Christian nationalism, and almost one in 10 who’ve heard “at least a little” about it didn’t know enough to offer an opinion.
One survey respondent described Christian nationalism as “patriotic Christians who believe in God, family and country, morality and kindness.” And I suspect that many people just think of Christian nationalists as patriotic white people who go to church — akin to the definition of white nationalism that Senator Tommy Tuberville was recently trying to sell.
