Introduction to Christian Nationalism
The discussion centers on the historical roots of Christian nationalism in the United States, tracing its evolution and rise to prominence. The civil rights movement of the 1960s is highlighted as a pivotal moment when many conservative white Christians began to feel alienated, perceiving progress in civil rights as a loss of their nation. This period marked the beginning of a more organized and vehement Christian nationalist movement, responding to societal changes with a push to reclaim what they felt was their rightful place in America.
