Christian Nationalism has become a kind of grab bag label for several religious or specifically Christian approaches to engagement in US national politics. Some of these approaches are, frankly, unbiblical. While some may not call themselves by this term, yet they believe the USA was founded upon Judeo-Christian values, and that this public moral consensus, now fracturing, is still sorely needed today to reinforce social cohesion and preserve e Pluribus Unum. Others use this label as a slanderous criticism, like "extremist" or "racist," for anyone who cites Christian values as a basis for their oposition to abortion or same-sex marriage or transgenderism. No doubt this term will be used during the run up to the 2024 US Presidential election, so it behooves us to understand it and know whereof we think.
