"Christian Nationalism" is the new term the Left has created to try to make people who vote based on biblical convictions, a Judeo-Christian worldview, and traditional values look weird. Here are a collection of articles and videos about this new propaganda tactic. Access the videos here.
“What I said
was, people will throw that term against any conservative Christian who
believes in the importance of nation and conservative political convictions,
and will claim you’re a Christian nationalist if you believe Christianity
should influence the nation. I said I’m not going to run from that.
But many in
the media, and certainly people on the left, they try to discredit Christian
influence by saying it’s the radical right. It’s the reactionary right. It’s
the Christian right. The latest thing is to say it’s Christian nationalism.
Well, unapologetically, I believe in the importance of nation. Our
constitutional order is around a nation.”

“The 70-year
push to eliminate every vestige of religious observance from our public life is
precisely the opposite of what the nation needs. We need more civil religion,
not less. We need open acknowledgment of the religious heritage and the
religious faith that bind Americans one to another.
The campaign
to erase America’s religion from the public square is just class warfare by
other means: the elite versus the common man, the atheistic monied class versus
America’s working people. And it’s not really about eliminating religion,
either: It’s about replacing one religion with another.
Every nation
observes a civil religion. For every nation is a spiritual unity. The Left
wants religion: the religion of the Pride flag. We want the religion of the
Bible.”

“As numerous
critics have already pointed out, ‘Christian nationalism’ sounds identical to
the case for American liberty offered in the Declaration of Independence.
Then again,
the idea that man has inalienable, universal rights goes back to ancient
Greece, at least. The entire American project is contingent on accepting the
notion that the state can’t give or take our God-given freedoms. . . .
It’s also
true that the ‘Christian nationalism’ scare is a ginned-up, partisan effort to
spook non-Christian voters. And, clearly, to some secular Americans, the idea
that a non-‘earthly authority’ can bestow rights on humans sounds nuts.”
David
Harsanyi, an atheist, in “If
This Is ‘Christian Nationalism,’ Sign Me Up!” at The Daily Signal.
“You see,
Christian nationalism isn’t the real threat to the free exercise of religion in
America today. The real threat is the ideology of the sexual revolution imposed
on the people by government force, and Przybyla can’t stand the idea of that
establishment being challenged. . . .
The Left
isn’t objecting to the Right’s imposing its worldview on Americans by
force—it’s objecting to the Right’s finally getting a say on issues springing
from the sexual revolution. We’re not witnessing the rise of Christian
nationalism, but the weakening of an anti-Christian establishment. . . .
‘Christian
nationalism’ is the modern equivalent of Southern Democrats’ demonizing
Lincoln, kicking and screaming as they lose the ability to foist their beliefs
on the rest of the country. If history is any guide, this trend does not bode
well for the Left—or America’s civil tranquility.”
