“Christian nationalists have received an outsized amount of attention from left-wing scholars, journalists, and activists for the last several years — most recently because Justice Alito displayed a flag at his vacation home that is sometimes associated with the ideology. Secular progressives are mistaken, however, if they view the rise of Christian nationalist voices as an indication that conservative Christians are an increasingly powerful force in American politics. Revanchist sentiments among Christians are driven by their political and cultural weakness. Calls for Christian nationalism are a sign of Christianity’s decline, not its growing strength. However, political efforts to reverse rising secularism will prove counterproductive, accelerating current trends.” (09/23/24)
