Christian Nationalism

“Some Christian nationalists are calling for a ‘confessional state, ‘establishing Christianity as the national religion that steers the government…. Notice that all state churches are now theologically liberal in the extreme and that all of the ‘confessional states’ of Europe are now secularist to the extreme.” - Veith

“Upholding the Constitution’s religious liberty protections, which also safeguard our own faith, precludes the government targeting Islam for legal discrimination… But insisting on that freedom of conscience does not mean leveling all religions or pretending there is no conflict of belief between Christianity and Islam….It’s not “Christian nationalism” to recognize that fact.” - CToday

“The man who oversees the nation’s military reposted a video about a Christian nationalist church that included various pastors saying women should no longer be allowed to vote.” - RNS

“…in response to Cultural Christians, Lewis would claim that while good-intentioned, the Cultural Christianity movement misses the point of Christ’s message. Those who want Christian Ethics without the Christian faith have turned Jesus into a mere moral teacher, another Historical Jesus, divorced from the Gospel.” - Juicy Ecumenism

“To some extent, this controversy and consequent overture may seem a bit too ‘inside baseball’ to warrant outside attention. However, the questions raised by this committee, and by proponents of Christian Nationalism more generally, are related to a broader ongoing conversation within intellectual Protestantism about retrieval of historic Reformed thought” - Providence
