The Rise of Christian Nationalism

Christian nationalism is increasingly prominent in U.S. politics, with a specific focus on the ideology that America should revert to its so-called Christian roots. This belief is gaining traction and has been propelled by sociological shifts since the election of Donald Trump in 2016, including the events surrounding the January 6th Capitol storming. It is not simply a grassroots movement but is controlled by wealthy individuals who use their influence to push this narrative, seeking to dominate the political landscape with their religious extremism. Investigative pieces highlight how billionaires like Tim Dunn and Ferris Wilkes in Texas are key players in this shift, demonstrating a blend of economic power and religious fervor to reshape policies and societal norms.
