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.

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.
Dude, what is this good/bad jews stuff? Its another antisemetic trope. You might not be aware of this, but its right out of nazi germany.
Lets frame it differently: if someone calls you a good white person and me a bad white person, what does that mean? What are the underlying presuppositions?
Do you see the problem here?
I was glad to see that Rep. Molly Jenkins' bill to allow guns in the state capitol not make it out of committee. Someone asked her, "Oklahoma is ranked 50th in education and this is your priority?" She actually answered "Yes". She stands most of all for the 3G's. You know, to be pro-God, pro-Guns and anti-Gay. She has been the lone Republican NO vote on several bills favoring public education. If she isn't in the Freedom Caucus, I'm surprised. She may be even more radical than the average Freedom Caucus member.You are right. I should have said something along the lines of the typical Sunday Oklahoma church goer.
As to giving Oklahomans too much credit…well we did elect Ryan Walters and Mark Wayne Mullin. And my rep at the State Capitol is the biggest whack job in OKC, Molly Jenkins.
He must not think much of God then...Mike Johnson: "America is the great superpower because we stand for basic human rights. We're the only country in the world founded upon the idea that our rights come from god and not the government. In god we trust. That's America, man."
(Literally none of this is true.)

I've heard what government gives you it can take away. I don't think I've heard what God gives you, He can take away.He must not think much of God then...
Job 1:21 (ESV) And he said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.”I've heard what government gives you it can take away. I don't think I've heard what God gives you, He can take away.
