Stop Christian NationalismThe Christian Church That Taught Trump To HateSome people like to call Donald Trump a fake Christian, but there is nothing fake about Trump’s Christianity. Donald Trump is a real Christian, a lifelong Christian, and a dedicated Christian Nationalist. Donald Trump is also a mean and nasty fascist. Donald Trump’s fascism comes in part from the hateful radicalization he experienced as a child at a church that banned African Americans from becoming members. There’s a photograph showing Donald Trump in his church confirmation class. Trump is not a new, baby Christian. Trump has been involved with Christianity for his whole life....

He's the founder of Palantir.Palantir is a company that profits on systems that conduct widespread electronic surveillance of people, so that anybody who is not from here is being watched.The idea is that anybody who is not from here can be picked up by Palantir’s systems, identified, targeted for detention, for exile, being deported from the Un...

Stop Christian NationalismThe Grim Reaper of Christian Nationalist FascismMany Americans were alarmed that the President of the United States would release such a sinister video during a time of high political tensions. What has not been so widely acknowledged is the violent Christian threat embedded in the video’s ominous imagery.Part of the video’s message is not religious, to be sure. It comes in the context of the Republican Party’s decision to shut down the federal government of the USA. Donald Trump has threatened that he will give Russ Vought, his Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, free reign...

Stop Christian NationalismThe Idiocy Of Christian Nationalist MagicThe traditional American view of politics is that the population chooses leaders who represent their interests, and manage a government that meets their needs. The government is organized into different departments, which are staffed by people who have studied their areas of expertise, and deliver specialized services for the good of the country.The Christian Nationalist view of politics is quite different from that. Under Christian Nationalism, people hope that their needs will be met through the magical services of spirits whose powers can be summoned through ritual incantations.Consider the following prophecy made by...

Those of you who didn’t sleep through civics class in high school will remember that the Bill of Rights specifically guarantees freedom of assembly to all people in the United States. In Kansas, however, freedom of assembly is being treated as a privilege, not a constitutional freedom. In Kansas, freedom of assembly is only being granted to Christians. Non-Christians are being told that they need to stay out of the public square, and cede that space exclusively to Christians.Her...

Stop Christian NationalismBrutal Christian Nationalism Takes Control In El Salvador And TexasDonald Trump has seized power, thrusting the United States into a constitutional crisis where absolute power rests in the hands of one man. This totalitarian brutality is inspired by the Christian Bible, where one magical dictator sets the rules for the entire world, and nobody else has any right to say no. In Texas, posters of the Ten Commandments in public schools are teaching children that slavery must be respected, that women are objects, and that freedom of religion is sinful. In West Virginia, a proposed constitutional amendment declares that the Bible is scientific truth and an inerrant historical...

Republican Christian Nationalist Kristi Noem kills her puppy with a gun. Iowa Faith Leader Coalition member Kelley McAtee advises her dog training clients that their pooches might be harboring the spirit of Satan. Donald Trump, for his part, refuses to be house trained, throwing cheeseburgers at the wall, shouting at his aides, and refusing to pay the workers who do construction labor on his swanky digs.Also, country music gets things back to the basics, and cuts through all the rational arguments of who’s...

Get Your Marriage On! with Dan PurcellYes Dear, Size Does Matter (if we're talking about your heart) featuring Dr. Clifford and Joyce PennerMy wife and I both grew up in good homes, but stereotypical to most that grow up in a conservative Christian culture in the 80s and 90s, conversations around sex were usually limited to biological reproduction or staying pure from sexual thoughts. These messages served me well before we were married but after we were married, we realized that these models led to anxiety about sexuality and difficulty with our sexual relationship. These issues didn't really surface until after a decade into our marriage, when we weren't so entrenched in survival mode from raising a young family any longer...

Christian Nationalists are organizing to take over school boards and city councils to impose their violent unforgiving religious zealotry on the rest of us. Their Christian Nationalism is historically ignorant, prophetically incoherent, and terrifyingly hateful, but we can’t count on Christian Nationalists to fall apart from the weight of their own absurdity. It’s time for us to organize a peaceful resistance to Christian Nationalism. (This podcast episode contains audio of a Christian Nationalist using a crude expletive over and over...

Stop Christian NationalismChristian Nationalism Claims Oklahoma For JesusChristian Nationalist politicians from coast to coast claimed that they had the all-powerful god of Christianity on their side. A few of them, like Marjorie Taylor Green, lucked out, but the heavenly mandate failed to show up for most, like Pennsylvania loser for Jesus Doug Mastriano. Still, Oklahoma’s Christian Nationalist Governor Kevin Stitt was re-elected, and now he says that the whole state of Oklahoma is no longer a democracy, but belongs to Jesus. Jesus, you may remember, is not a citizen of the United States.

Stop Christian NationalismChristian Nationalism Severe and SubtleWe can fall into the trap of supposing that Christian Nationalism is only there when the people who express it are shouting wildly out in the streets. In fact, Christian Nationalism is expressed both by raving fanatics and by political insiders who manifest the extremist ideology in subtle ways. Connecting these different manifestations of Christian Nationalism is a consistent ideology, a political religious movement that seeks to end American democracy and replace it with a Christian dictatorship that forces Christianity on everyone.This episode of the podcast Stop Christian Nationalism covers the gamut of Christian...

Stop Christian NationalismWhen Christian Nationalists Are DemocratsIt’s easy to think sometimes that all we need to do to defeat Christian Nationalism is to defeat the Republican Party. After all, the most extreme Christian Nationalists are Republicans. This week, however, a speech by Democratic President Joe Biden embraced the fundamental perspective of Christian Nationalism. Democrats in Congress are introducing Christian Nationalist legislation. This podcast episode considers the question of what we ought to do when the Christian Nationalists we face are in the Democratic Party.

Stop Christian NationalismCeremonial Deism and Christian NationalismCeremonial Deism an imaginary government religion made up by the Supreme Court in order to justify the promotion of Christian nationalism through the power of government. Judges invented the concept of Ceremonial Deism in order to justify the government establishment of religion in open defiance of the First Amendment, which clearly states that government establishment of religion is not allowed. The judges who promote the idea of Ceremonial Deism are almost always Christian. Consider the makeup of the Supreme Court that ruled in the Lynch v.

Stop Christian NationalismChristian Nationalism Gets WeirdRepublican US Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers has introduced a bill in Congress to create a National Year of Humiliation. Donald Trump says he wants to destroy American public schools to make way for Christian indoctrination. Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick says that the Christian god wrote the Constitution, and that Democrats are in league with demons. What can we do in the face of such outrageous Christian nationalism? We can start talking about how very strange Christian nationalism is, and erode the power of Christian normativity.
