Within the story of American secularization, there have been three distinct stages:

• Positive World (Pre-1994): Society at large retains a mostly positive view of Christianity. To be known as a good, churchgoing man remains part of being an upstanding citizen. Publicly being a Christian is a status-enhancer. Christian moral norms are the basic moral norms of society and violating them can bring negative consequences.
• Neutral World (1994–2014): Society takes a neutral stance toward Christianity. Christianity no longer has privileged status but is not disfavored. Being publicly known as a Christian has neither a positive nor a negative impact on one’s social status. Christianity is a valid option within a pluralistic public square. Christian moral norms retain some residual effect.
• Negative World (2014–Present): Society has come to have a negative view of Christianity. Being known as a Christian is a social negative, particularly in the elite domains of ­society. Christian morality is expressly repudiated and seen as a threat to the public good and the new public moral order. Subscribing to Christian moral views or violating the secular moral order brings negative consequences.

The Three Worlds of Evangelicalism

They throw on the Nationalist tag to vilify Christians. Sounds a lot like Christian Nazi.

[Dan_Frisbie]

By definition, I am a Christian Nationalist. I am a Christian (although I do believe that our God may not be the only God that exists…) and I am a proud American, a Nationalist.

Th be known by this category, moniker, or however one chooses to refer to it, is not a slur towards me or against me.
In order for another person to offend me, I must first give that person some power over me. I refuse to do that. You can’t offend me, but you can piss me off…

[Telepathic Intruder]

"Frankly, the “Christian nationalism” label is lazy and meaningless."

It throws up some red flags, though. The Left has been trying to characterize Naziism as "Nationalism", while ignoring the socialism part. By combining it with "Christian", they hope to lump Nazis and Christians into the same general group, for anyone willing to believe it.

The term “Christian Nationalist” never made sense to me——You can be a Christian who loves his country but you can not put your country before God. Jesus is my savior, my country isn’t...

I love Jesus and like our country, but the two are separate. Forcing Christianity through government, is NOT what Christianity is all about.

Still waiting to hear what’s wrong with supporting America.
Still waiting to hear what’s wrong with being a Christian.

MTG recently on tucker said there are forces in the world who are waging war on white Christian male dominated civilization and they will if they can kill to accomplish this

She is right

Sadly some on this forum fall for the canards

Just tell people that you are not an International Communist ‘Rat.

Opposing child castration didn’t used to be something only Christians would do. But now that TPTB want child claustration, you’re now an religious fanatic for opposing it.

How is Christian “Nationalist” NOT the easiest slur of the demonic Left to refute?
John18:36

[Demiurge2]

Or, alternatively, embrace the term and display it on bumper stickers.

[Persevero]

I like to say the alternative is pagan globalist.

I am proud to be a Christian nationalist and whoever isn’t can answer to me

[ohioman]

Most are proud to be both a Christian and a Nationalist. I know I am.

[ConservativeMind]

Just call them “Pedophile Lovers,” in return.

[nonliberal]

Why would we be ashamed?

[metmom]

I got over letting name calling *make* me do anything back in jr high.

They can call me what they wish and go pound sand.

[Faith Presses On]

Would Jesus or the Apostles want to spend a lot of time with many Christians in America today? That is a very important question because that’s what eternal life in Heaven is, life with Him. Being the Bride of Christ, the church’s relationship is compared to a marriage. With even the church today accepting so much worldliness, which is ungodliness, that actually results in frequent distance from Christ.

Even 2,000 years ago, Christ and the Apostles warned against worldliness. The worldliness that existed then pales in comparison to what exists now. That’s an enormous problem, but the Lord doesn’t forsake us. He will meet us in all problems, and give us what’s infinitely better than what the world has to offer.

And consider what Jesus said about needing to be more righteous than the leading scribes and Pharisees He was in conflict with.

“For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:20

The chief way of contending for the faith isn’t politics, even though in a democratic republic Christians can and should be involved. It’s seeking to please Him in all things and so grow closer to Him in fellowship. And doing that will create a light for others, many who even oppose godliness, to see the heavenly way of Christ. What pleases God is not saying, “I’ve passed God’s ‘tests’ for godliness, and that’s obvious because look at those terrible people over there that failed it and displease Him.” Instead, He desires us to say something more like, “As by the grace of God, my life grows more pleasing to the Lord, and He shows me the evidence of that, how does He want me to help others, first even to see the need to please Him and be reconciled to Him, and then in how to follow Him to do so?”

"Christian nationalism" is a leftist generated term. The Christian religion is a universal faith, for people of all nations who accept the free gift of salvation. Christ came to save people not countries. Nationalism was a key element in fascist ideology. However, nationalism in its proper sense is synonymous with patriotism. By using the term, Christian nationalism, leftist propagandists want to raise the specter of Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco and movies and TV shows that project a repressive society based on religion.

The Left has think tanks like the Tavistock Institute and the New School for Social Research that generate language to allow them to control people's perceptions. Don't use their terms. Even the term, racism, was promoted by Leon Trotsky.
