Christian nationalism — the violent, theocratic belief that the United States is, and must remain, an inherently Christian nation — is all the rage on the political right. (Pun intended.)
Several Republicans have openly embraced Christian nationalism, including Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado; failed Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano; and Ginni Thomas, whose husband, Clarence, sits on the Supreme Court. Even others — such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia — have been unique in their giddy celebration of the exclusionary set of beliefs.
Last week, the Public Religion Research Institute released new findings that show how successful these people have been in spreading their oppressive message.
