Christian nationalism – blending American and Christian identities and symbols – is popping up in GOP primary races. Though he rejects the term, Pennsylvania's Republican nominee for governor, Doug Mastriano, may be the most prominent example.

But scholars generally define Christian nationalism as going beyond policy debates and championing a fusion of American and Christian values, symbols and identity.

Candidates seen as Christian nationalists have had mixed success in this year’s Republican primaries, which typically pitted staunch conservatives against opponents even further to the right. “It literally is good and evil,” he continued. “There’s no room for compromise, so that is the threat to democracy.”

Mastriano, who sought to overturn Pennsylvania’s vote for Joe Biden in 2020, attended the rally preceding the attack and chartered buses to bring others. Though he says he left when things turned violent, video showed he passed through “breached barricades and police lines,” according to a Senate Judiciary Committee report.

Pastor Tim Thompson of 412 Church in Murrieta, California, who hosts a YouTube channel with more than 9,600 subscribers and envisions a conservative future for the state, recently started a political action committee aiming to “take back our school boards” and give parents authority over curriculum.

imaflosser We can’t let these domestic christian terrorists take over our country. I will not be dictated to by these affronts to our right to choose…anything (to belong to a religion, to choose no religion, to have freedom to choose as a full citizen, etc.).

That's some bullshit right there, christian nationalism needs to be put in same category as white supremacy, Nazis, and the klan. Nothing but hate and separatism.

Religion is the most notorious of groomers

Lol🤡🤡🤡🤡

🤡🤡🤡💯

Or call it fascism…

Should they not be censured for violating the Establishment Clause in the 1st Amendment to the Constitution?

Hate in the name of Jesus! But black is white and up is down! You don’t see it. It doesn’t exist. 😐

Belief in Jesus only matters for your Spiritual feeling. No one can claim they know what God would favor on a political issue. love

Christian nationalism Translation A Racist unchristian mob forcing their brand of religious law on every other American in the country. Striving for an authoritarian regime, that will tear up the Constitution & force women & minority folks into 2nd class citizenship. VoteBlue

freedom of religion is important, but equally if not MORE important is freedom FROM religion. We’re a secular nation, not a Christian nation

White supremacy* Let's stop bending to their attempts at credibility.

Better known as the KKK.

Blessed be this movement! May it lead to a return of a Christian Dominion in a world falling into chaos, degeneracy, and sin!

My country is NOT your CHURCH! VoteBlue VoteBlueToSaveDemocracy

Y'all should talk about how these are white supremacists ideals.

AP needs to read Jesus and John Wayne. kkdumez

White Christian Extremist.

2 Corinthians 6:14–17 'Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers, for what participation is there between righteousness and lawlessness? [...] Therefore “come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord' Separation of Church and state was started by Christianity...

This man is very very wrong for Pennsylvania. I personally believe we need Josh Shapiro for Governor in PA. Josh has the experience of running a state. My opinion. But, as a resident of PA, Mastriano is a disaster waiting to happen. Who will do & pay for cleanup

What's wrong with being Christian or nationalist?

Christian in names only? True followers of Christ adhere to his teachings.

Hello sir

Thank you for covering this topic

patriotism is fascism.

The AP is a ridiculous FakeNews propaganda machine for the Democrat party.

Sharia law comes to America

Popping up? Look, this has been the driving force in Kansas politics for 20 years. Where do you think Mike Pompeo came from? Financed by Charles Koch, Kansas has been moving to make The Handmaiden's Tale reality. Just saying. SaveKansas

How absolutely ludicrous it is to believe, in the 21st century, that there is some old guy up in the sky running the universe. And even if there were, I kinda doubt there'd be time to worry very much about who the hell is governor of Pennsylvania.

ChristianFascist PAGOP

You mean NAZIS right? Cool. Just checking. They are NAZIS

another made-up term for just being an 'American'. Divide and conquer is the left's tactic still.
