This article points out the greatest danger of true Christian Nationalism and why they are using Trojan Horse tactics. Look at the five questions. All fairly benign when you ask the typical American Christian.![]()
Women are just as likely as men to hold Christian nationalist views
But even as the movement gains political and cultural influence, men and women Christian nationalists’ views on gender differ.19thnews.org
- U.S. laws should be based on Christian values
- Being Christian is an important part of being truly American
- The U.S. government should declare America a Christian nation
- If the United States moves away from our Christian foundations, we will not have a country anymore
- God has called Christians to exercise dominion over all areas of American society
Most Oklahomans would answer in the affirmative to these questions. But then turn around and tell them that means no more gambling, no more tobacco, no more drinking. Not only that but if you get caught bootlegging then you are executed. That’s the crap Wilson dabbles in.
As would mine.My answer to all five of those questions would be "absolutely not".
I like your assessment of this ideology as the Christian Taliban. The shoe fits.This article points out the greatest danger of true Christian Nationalism and why they are using Trojan Horse tactics. Look at the five questions. All fairly benign when you ask the typical American Christian.
These questions point to what most Evangelical, Southern & Independent Baptists Conservative Non denominational and maybe even far right Catholics have taught for decades.

But true Christian Nationalists (Doug Wilson types) are way more sinister. Taliban style.
Just go find a CREC church and read its constitution. Want to vote. You have to be a land owning male. Want to go to school and not work horrible low paying high hour jobs, then submit/tithe to our church and then go to our school. Husband beats you and your kids, well come before our elders and we decide if he’s justified.
True Christian Nationalism is way different than Focus on the Family or ORU. They like these questionnaires and answers bc they use them to recruit more into their cult.
Most Oklahomans would answer in the affirmative to these questions. But then turn around and tell them that means no more gambling, no more tobacco, no more drinking. Not only that but if you get caught bootlegging then you are executed. That’s the crap Wilson dabbles in.
I don’t disagree. I’m just pointing out this article makes a huge mistake w these types of questions and then labels those answering in the affirmative as CNs. Ask the typical Baptist or Stillwater Sunnybrook these questions while they are standing in line at an OSU wrestling match w a beer in each hand and they’d say “Hell yeah!”My answer to all five of those questions would be "absolutely not".
You said, "Most Oklahomans would answer in the affirmative to these questions....".I don’t disagree.

That’s the answer Doug Wilson wants bc he knows he can sneak in the Capitol door that way. But what he wants is way worse than the typical Cristian values.
That’s why it’s so crazy that he was at the Pentagon. His laws would execute the very man that invited him.
As typical the man who invited him is too big of a dumbass to realize the game he is playing.
I’ve got a family friend who just 3 month’s ago launched a CREC church in the SE. it is nuck’n futts what these zealots believe and that article says 1/3 of the respondents including 17% Democrats identified as CN based on those 5 questions. Ain’t no way a D would align w a Doug Wilson CREC belief.
You are right. I should have said something along the lines of the typical Sunday Oklahoma church goer.You said, "Most Oklahomans would answer in the affirmative to these questions....".
I'm an Oklahoman. I don't know that I agree with your assessment that most Oklahomans would answer those all in the affirmative because I'm an Oklahoman and disagree firmly with all those questions.
Maybe I'm giving too much credit to my fellow Oklahomans. I'd like to think that's not the case.
