"SNIP.....


A group formed by Christian leaders is warning against the rise of "Christian nationalism," saying the merging of Christian and American identities poses a threat to U.S. democracy and religious communities. 

“As Christians, we are bound to Christ, not by citizenship, but by faith,” Christians Against Christian Nationalism’s statement reads.

“Whether we worship at a church, mosque, synagogue, or temple, America has no second-class faiths. All are equal under the U.S. Constitution.”

.....

The leaders say "Christian nationalism" seeks to bind Christianity and American citizenship in a way that “provides cover for white supremacy and racial subjugation.”
