About 40% Of Mormons Are Christian Nationalists

In regards to other wingnuts the article I linked said:

The many disparate identities and ideologies visible during the attack were united under
a banner of Christian Nationalism, which created the permission structure necessary for
Americans to attack their own government. The correspondent who shot the viral New
Yorker video footage explained it like this: “The Christianity was one of the surprises to
me in covering this stuff, and it has been hugely underestimated,” he said. “That
Christian Nationalism you talk about is the driving force and also the unifying force of
these disparate players. It’s really Christianity that ties it all together.”

Its not that there are not other groups with other names, its that these groups too identify as and with Christian nationalism. QAnon conspiracists are not just QAnon conspiracists. They tend to also want to see America become a Christian nation run by this extreme rigid and conservative form of Christianity. This is no direct attack on Christianity. It's a direct attack against those Christians who want to thwart our national principles in favor of their ideology. As the poll linked to suggests. There's a good 10% adherents in the nation. That's a lot of people. There are plenty of Christian Nationalists in positions of power and influence, saying terrible things, promoting terrible politics and pushing for terrible policies. We should not, of course not, use this news as a reason to attack Christians or Christianity. And hopefully more Christians jump on board to put a stop to the nonsense. In fact we need them.

That seems rather anecdotal to me. So a correspondent who shot a video for the New Yorker concluded that it was Christianity that served as the unifying force? OK. Shrug.

Unless I'm looking at the wrong survey results.

Only 7% of Republicans reject Christian Nationalism. In Utah, that may manifest as the CTR salute with palms held high and tilted upward, proceeded by a vigorous hanky waving.

I believe Anthea Butler, Kristin Kobes de Mez (author of Jesus & John Wayne), Samuel Perry, and Andrew Whitehead would be good resources for all things Christian Nationalism.
