Majority of Republican Voters Say US Should Be Declared a 'Christian Nation'
More than 60% of GOP voters supported codifying Christian nationalism even as they said the U.S. Constitution does not support such a declaration.
Far-right Republican lawmakers who have recently invoked Christian nationalist messages appear to be representing a growing portion of their voter base, according to a new poll released Wednesday showing that a sizable majority of Republicans believe the U.S. should be declared a "Christian nation."
As Professors Stella Rouse and Shibley Telhami of the University of Maryland wrote at Politico, the school's critical issues poll found that while a majority of Republican voters agree that such a declaration would be unconstitutional, most also believe that the U.S. should be officially known as Christian.
"We see that 51% of Millennial Republicans and 51% of Generation Z Republicans want the U.S. to be declared a Christian nation."
The professors surveyed 2,091 voters between May 6-16, 2022, first asking them "if they believed the Constitution would even allow the United States government to declare the U.S. a 'Christian Nation'" and finding that 57% of Republicans—as well as more than 80% of Democrats—said no.
Yet "fully 61% of Republicans supported declaring the United States a Christian nation," Rouse and Telhami wrote.

Wasn't this country founded on exactly NOT that?
The whole separation thang!
They really need to start teaching Civics again in schools.
Sorry MAGAs, but I do not, and I repeat, do not want to live in a far right religious fascist authoritarian hell hole. I choose freedom over fascism.
