Is Christian nationalism on the rise in the United States?

[Aljazeera] Marc Lamont Hill hosts a discussion looking at Christian nationalism and the line between Church and State in the US.
The amazing MLH, my 'go to guy' for Truth, Justice, and the American Way.
The separation of church and state is widely considered a sacred pillar of American democracy, one upheld by the country’s founding documents, including the Constitution.

However, in recent years, an undercurrent of religious rhetoric has permeated political discourse in the United States, causing many to sound the alarm over attempts at merging religious ideals and national identity.

"Christian nationalism strikes at the very heart of civil rights for all Americans," says Amanda Tyler, the executive director of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty.

This week in an UpFront special, Marc Lamont Hill is joined by Tyler; Anthea Butler, the chair of religious studies at the University of Pennsylvania; and Kristin Du Mez, a professor of history and gender studies at Calvin University, to discuss Christian nationalism and its effects on the lives and rights of people in the US.

#3 The separation of church and state is widely considered a sacred pillar of American democracy, one upheld by the country’s founding documents, including the Constitution.

Really? Where? Read the 1st Amendment carefully. It says the state shall not establish a state religion, as in the Church of England or the Roman Catholic church, at the exclusion of others. The doctrine of separation is largely a creation of SCOTUS, one that often favors the rule over religions and their contents by the state rather than 'separation', punishing those who adhere to faith rather than state. The actual practices of those who wrote and founded the original documents say otherwise.

#7 I am reading Raymond Ibrahim's Defenders of the West: The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam (Post Hill Press, 2022). His focus on scholarship and primary source documentation is unparalleled in my experience. He repeated decimates the modern tropes of "Religion of Peace" and victimhood by modern Muslim apologists. He makes it clear again, as in his previous book Sword and Scimitar, that Christendom has been under attack by Islam since its beginnings, and that the "muscular Christianity" of the past would be flabbergasted at the decline of vigor in modern times. Perhaps this is a positive sign of a reawakening?

#8 Less the rise of "Christian Nationalism", and more the revolt of the normies against woke Leftist nonsense. It's all we can stands, 'cause we can't stands no more!
