Sum: #ChristianNationalism may exist, & it's bad, but the fusion of faith & nation is fringe, not mainstream among white evangelicals (WEs).

False. Chart 1: Majorities of WEs say founding docs are inspired, US has special relationship w/God, & gov should declare US Christian. 1/ https://twitter.com/albertmohler/status/1349371135985594369

Chart 2: We can compare those PDES trends above to publicly available data in the BRS with identical measures. Identical trend. The majority of WEs think the United States has special relationship with God and the federal government should declare the US a Christian nation. 2/

From a different angle, in the 2014 GSS we see the majority of white evangelicals (two-thirds of those over 50 years) think that being a Christian is "very important" to being truly American. So here the majority conflate Christian identity w/civic belonging. 3/

So no, indicators of #ChristianNationalism are NOT FRINGE among evangelicals.

In our book we find between 75-80% of WEs fall into the categories of Accommodator (friendly) or Ambassadors (true believers) of #ChristianNationalism.

CN is mainstream. 4/4 http://bit.ly/TABforG
