Leaders from Christian churches across the country have come together to denounce Christian Nationalists, those who believe that the United States should be dominantly and explicitly Christian in its laws, practices, and citizens.

Members of a group known as Christians Against Christian Nationalism released a statement on Monday relaying its mission and asking other Christians to join them. “Christian nationalism seeks to merge Christian and American identities, distorting both the Christian faith and America’s constitutional democracy,” the statement reads. “It often overlaps with and provides cover for white supremacy and racial subjugation. We reject this damaging political ideology and invite our Christian brothers and sisters to join us in opposing this threat to our faith and to our nation.”

In the past few years, experts have warned that, like white nationalism, Christian nationalism is on the rise. Christians Against Christian Nationalism points to hate crimes against non-Christian houses of worship by white nationalists in the past few years as proof of this ideology permeating. In the last year alone, terrorist attacks at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, the Christchurch mosque in New Zealand, the Poway synagogue, and others have been committed by religiously motivated white nationalists.

1. They'll still vote for Trump because he promises to end abortion.

Even though he favored a woman's right to choose before he became a candidate.

2. Yep, no doubt that will be an overriding issue. n/t

4. I have a friend who said he thought he would never vote for a Dem again

But the situation at the border pushed him over the edge. He said he "doesn't believe in seperating families". He's even watching the debates!

3. "A lot of Christians"

...likely of mainline New England dominated Protestant denominations, Congregationalists, etc., whom the Evangelicals, fundies and Pentecostals don’t consider to be “real Christians”.

5. I am not religious myself. I live in a predominantly moderate Catholic environment (Chicagoland).

The Catholics I know, including family members, do not subscribe to any "Christian Nationalist" beliefs.

6. We have the right to choose

NOT to speak Russian! Abortion won't be an issue if we lose our complete freedom.

Good on these guys!
