We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
Despite controversial connections, the term "Christian nationalist" is increasingly being embraced by conservatives, with some even writing articles celebrating the term and the ideology behind it.
As The Bulwark points out, one of those is Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) who told a CPAC audience,
"When I said that I’m a Christian nationalist, I have nothing to be ashamed of."
“We’re proud of our faith and we love our country,” she said at CPAC. “And that will make America great again. When we lean into biblical principles, you know, is there anything wrong with loving God and loving others? No.”
She went on to say that the Republican Party needs "to be the party of nationalism. And I’m a Christian. I say it proudly, we should be Christian nationalists.”
"To understand why a more open embrace of Christian nationalism on the right today is so insidious, we have to understand what Christian nationalism is," The Bulwark's Annika Brockschmidt and Thomas Lecaque write.
"It arises from a warped version of American history, one that holds that the United States was supposed to be an explicitly Christian country, founded by and for Christian people — often understood explicitly to mean white Christian people. This bad history has been disproved time and time again, but it is central to the self-appointed legitimacy of Christian nationalists."
Christian nationalism also declares that society and its laws should be dictated by Christians and that there should be no separation of church and state. "A third pillar: the belief that only Christians — white, conservative Christians — are 'true' Americans."
