That is so fucking weird like do people realize Christian nationalism isn’t just being a Christian it’s literally what countries like Russia follow?

Wait I don’t understand. If they are just Christians why not just call them Christians? Like what’s the difference between a Christian and a Christian nationalist?

A Christian is someone who follows Christianity, believes in its teachings, and identifies with the faith

Christian nationalism is a political ideology that seeks to closely intertwine Christianity with national identity, government, and public policy. To the point of Christian’s should control the goverment entirely and it usally leads to oppression of people who don’t want to believe think like Christian’s trying to put the 10 commandments in every classroom that would be a nationalist belief

These are apparently the largest “Christian Nationalist Groups” which is probably why I’ve never come across one.

Pretty sure that’s just regular vanilla Christianity. It’s not even orthodox Christianity which is.. ☦️ this one.

Well considering my family are the ☦️ type and they were put both in Stalin’s camps then taken from those camps by the Nazi’s and put into Nazi camps (Ukrainian not Jewish) I really doubt it.

Yeah they were trying to radicalize people but left pretty quickly once they realized they couldn’t answer actually substantive philosophical questions without looking incredibly ignorant. I’m agnostic but grew up with my dad as a deacon, the odd thing about these people is they have remarkably little knowledge about scripture let alone broader philosophy, and rage quit when pushed on their understanding of either. Very larpy online vibes with a strange sense of superiority grounded in nothing

The irony of many Christian’s developing their own false idols never ceases to amaze me. (I study theology for the practicality)

Many of them unknowingly worship the state and their skin color “culture” under the guise of a “western civilization” they have no actual understanding of that has since passed for quite some time. Just another symptom of the broader crises in meaning, identity, and purpose that modernity has challenged us with, not all that dissimilar from the wayward youth who join gangs

I mean this doesn’t sound bad at all, putting the Ten Commandments up in a classroom sounds like it would be beneficial and not oppressive. What’s so bad about them?

It’s because at its princable its forcing Christianity and why is it fair to force a child who possibly does or doesn’t believe in Jesus be forced to learn about one religion

Since not everyone is Christian it’s the same is a teacher only taught from the Bible there’s a reason there’s a separation of church and state

I see that but at the same time I can see a link between culture, religion, and nation. They all exist on the same stage I guess and it doesn’t seem wrong for a country to be Christian just as some may be Buddhist, Islamic, etc. I feel like there is definitely a line in forcing on people something such as through apostasy or blasphemy laws, but I don’t see an issue with religion being a specific part of a nations identity and culture.

When it’s a melting pot culture like we have in America one religon being over another causes immense issues like during the aids crisis a lot of people in the government believed they should let them die because god was punishing them, that’s the kind of thing that happens during religious goverment control

Well that definitely isn’t good, but I think there is a distinction between a religious government (theocracy) and a government that identifies with a particular religion. A government can exist, I think, without exercising any religious powers but still subscribing to a certain religion.

Which is what Christian nationalism is, it’s a political class that exercises religious powers to an extreme
