13. This OP is so old that I'd forgotten about it.

Sadly, the problem of Christian Nationalism not only still exists, but is much worse than it was 2 years ago when I wrote the OP.

Trump's second rally in Butler, PA this weekend was a disgusting appeal to Christian Nationalism that presented him as the American Messiah who was spared by God in the assassination attempt because he is God's Chosen One. He actually said that the death of Corey Comperatore served a purpose, as if Comperatore was sacrificed by God in order to promote attention to Trump.

The entire religious angle at the rally was horrifyingly chilling.

And that is what is in store for us under Project 2025.

Much of the "Christian Nationalism" that I see is rooted in Calvinism T_i_B Oct 2024 #16

Calvinism puts a heavier emphasis on predestination T_i_B Dec 8 #19
