Fighting Christian Nationalism
Protecting our nation against the waves of Christian Nationalism for nearly 80 years
Christian Nationalism is an existential threat to our democracy
White Christian Nationalism is the dangerous belief that America is – and must remain – a Christian nation founded for its white Christian inhabitants and that our laws and policies must reflect this. Christian Nationalists deny the separation of church and state promised by our Constitution, and they oppose equality for people of color, women, LGBTQ+ people, religious minorities, and the nonreligious.
“Christian Nationalism,” and “white Christian Nationalism,” describe a political movement that is trying to destroy our democracy by undermining church-state separation and declaring America a “Christian nation.” The resurgence of this movement is part of the backlash against the changing demographics in America and the struggle to retain traditional white Christian power structures.

From the conservative side of this split grew Jim Crow laws and the systemic racism we are fighting today.
Now called white Christian nationalism, this movement continues to use religion to justify their personal and political positions on systemic racism, critical race theory, misogyny, abortion, homophobia and transphobia.
