White, Christian Nationalism is based on faulty historical perceptions and on error in interpreting

the Bible.

By continuing to point out these misrepresentations, misinterpretations and misuse of the Bible and of the Christian faith itself, my hope is to separate people who claim to follow Christ from extremist, right wing politics. There are others who are committed to doing the same, and it is happening. As Trumpism gets more extreme, there are people who see how inconsistent it is with genuine Christian belief.

The other intention is to point out that being a Democrat isn't the opposite of being Christian. Far from it in fact, even those Democrats who don't acknowledge a personal Christian faith still follow a set of values, beginning with integrity, respect for all humanity and a recognition of basic human rights that is consistent with Christian theology. Both Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are Christians, whose faith practice is an important part of their character. They demonstrate the true character of Christianity far more than does Trump, who not only claims not to be Christian by definition, but resists any attempt to follow the values of Christianity.

1. Take away their "faulty historical perceptions and...

...error in interpreting the Bible" - well, then Christian Nationalism wouldn't even exist. Neither would any TV ministries or tent revival or most Republican political campaigns.

"It's a financially lucrative business."

There is a way to tell if the end-timers are sincere in their beliefs...

Are they accumulating long-term wealth?

3. It needs to be called out

Instead of dismissing this as some kind of religious obsession that has little to do with the real world, the fact that Biblical eschatology is being taken out of context and used as justification to completely alter the political foundations of the United States of America is good reason to become informed, in order to call it out, demonstrate the danger it poses to American democracy, point out its errors and keep it from capturing control of even a part of our political system, if it hasn't already done that in some ways.

5. We do not live in a Christian nation

We live in a nation where you are free to practice Christianity if you so choose.

We have just hit the point where there are more people who say they are not formally affiliated with any religion than say they are practicing Christians, so don’t try to claim that your faith should get special treatment because you are the majority.
