A History of Christian Nationalism
Throughline
A Nation's Roots in Faith
The church is not only a source of inspiration but a foundational element of America's identity, asserting that the nation was originally founded on Christian principles. References to God and Christianity are deeply embedded in American culture, with national symbols like 'In God We Trust' and the presidential tradition of swearing oaths on the Bible. Christian nationalism seeks to entrench these values further into the fabric of law and education, advocating for prayers in schools, displays of the Ten Commandments, and restrictions on social policies like abortion and same-sex marriage. A significant portion of the population supports these views, with 45% affirming that the U.S. should be a Christian nation and many believing the Bible should guide legislation over public opinion.
