Christian nationalism seeks to establish an exclusivist version of Christianity as the dominant moral and cultural order. Christian nationalism overlaps with but is distinct from theonomy, with it being more populist in character. In countries with a state church, Christian nationalists seek to preserve the status of a Christian state by holding an antidisestablishmentarian position to perpetuate the Church in national politics Wikipedia
Theonomy (from Greek theos "God" and nomos "law") is a hypothetical Christian form of government in which society is ruled by divine law. Theonomists hold that divine law, particularly the judicial laws of the Old Testament, should be observed by modern societies

The hierarchy of the one I am currently a member of now has a very different organizational structure than the one I grew up in. Bishops and elders have been certainly new to me as "ranked members" within the congregation and staff. The only ones I was familiar with growing up were congregation volunteers, "deacons". That and having the senior pastor sitting on local government BOD's is another bit of "congregation shock".

I dunno, I'm more worried about a church's man or zone coverage inclinations myself.

Dude it's hilarious that you finally started paying for a premium subscription. I guess you needed a wider audience for your left wing propaganda. Also, when you post something that has references, you should probably provide your source. Plagiarism isn't cool

If you can define, without cutting and pasting, exactly what Christian Nationalism is in the United States, then I will answer.

If it is loving and worshipping the God of the Bible, loving my Country, and supporting traditional Judeo Christian values, then, yes, guilty.

It's funny how leftists throw "Christian Nationalist" around as an insult or negative term. I am indeed a proud Christian nationalist

Our Church is loaded with such people.

Thankfully our priest sets the tone.

So is this how you can say you are Christian on one hand but perform abortions with the other?

No not at all. They are really counter culture to that particular movement. The Pastor was a regent and I believe visiting Professor at Truitt and one point. Unfortunately my wife's upbringing as an Independent Fundamental Baptist is starting to take over and she is wanting to leave the church. It is more "liberal" than a Southern Baptist church, it's a Texas Baptist church. They aren't liberal at all just more inclusive than most SBC churches. Zero christian nationalism.

I'm looking for a church where they handle snakes at Wednesday night prayer service and throw the folding chairs around when filled with the spirit.

Minus that, I will settle for a church with a real choir singing inspirational hymns before and after a Christ-centered message.

I'm looking for a church that does potluck on every fourth Sunday rather than every fifth Sunday. I need a stronger commitment.

"Christian nationalism is a form of religious nationalism that is affiliated with Christianity. It primarily focuses on the internal politics of society, such as legislating civil and criminal laws that reflect its adherents' view of Christianity and the role of religion in political and social life." -Wikipedia

Something along these lines

Good question:

Christian Nationalism insists the USA is a Christian nation and the Founding Father meant it to be.
Christian Nationalism insists on putting the 10 commandments on school walls.
Christian Nationalism insists that abortion regardless of health circumstances is wrong. They project their dogma that life begins at conception
Christian Nationalism insists on Christian symbols (crosses, Nativities, etc) government public spaces.
Christian Nationalism post signs - God Guns Trump.
Politics is preached from the pulpit from preachers and congregations are told who to vote for.

I suppose this a good start.

That's a milder form of Christian Nationalism. Do you believe C N is a threat to democracy? and why or why not?
