"Christian Nationalism is remarkably similar to fascism, but it is just
respectable enough to fly under most people’s “fascism radars.”
Which makes Christian Nationalism extremely dangerous.
That’s the argument of sociologists Samuel Perry and Andrew Whitehead in their
2020 essay, “Christian Nationalism Talks Religion but Walks Fascism.” They
compare the beliefs of Christian Nationalism to the beliefs of fascist
movements, revealing an eerie resemblance.
Perry and Whitehead define Christian Nationalism as an ideology that “idealizes
and advocates a fusion of Christianity with American civic belonging and
participation.” Christian Nationalists believe America is a Christian nation.
Further, America’s Christian nationhood ought to be defended and preserved."
