Many supporters of Christian nationalism have little interest in religion. What really defines the movement?
Then, as now, Christian identity in America was often tribal—which is to say, anti-tribal. In a fascinating book called “Heathen,” the religious historian Kathryn Gin Lum suggests that, in many times and places, the divide between Christian and “heathen” was the central divide in American life. The original British colonies were sometimes taken to be efforts to promote the “propagation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ amongst those poor heathen,” as a 1649 act of Parliament declared.
In “The Religion of American Greatness: What’s Wrong with Christian Nationalism,” Paul D. Miller, a political scientist at Georgetown, tries to make sense of this complicated history. He is, he writes, a Christian, and a patriot, “proudly pro-life” and “a zealot for religious liberty.
Achord parted ways with a Christian school in Louisiana where he had been headmaster, and said that the posts, most of them from 2020 or 2021, reflected “a spiritually dark time marked by pessimism and anger and strained relationships.” While he eventually admitted that the Twitter account in question was his, he said he had “trouble recollecting” posts connected to it.
