Understanding the Distortion of Christian Nationalism
Christian nationalism is a concerning ideology that distorts the gospel and threatens the church. It promotes an us-versus-them mentality, fear, and hyper-vigilance. Christians are encouraged to disentangle their faith from Christian nationalism and recognize that being Christian and being American are not synonymous. The gospel goes beyond individual salvation and calls for collective action to address social injustices and care for the marginalized. Engaging in evidence-based decision-making and challenging the harmful narratives perpetuated by Christian nationalism are important steps in creating a more inclusive and loving society.
