If I had to pick a "most common finding" in all #ChristianNationalism research it would be the link between CN & xenophobia. Yet that link IS NOT the result of actual PRESENCE of immigrants. The states with the highest CN scores are those with the fewest immigrants. It's bigotry.

“Christian” nationalism

Me too!

Notable that the GOP can’t even avoid engaging in hate speech *at a hearing about the rise in hate crimes.* Sending all the love to my brilliant friend Maya Berry, who responded to Kennedy’s corny slack-jawed yokel routine with far more patience and class than he deserves.

The unapologetic bile being pushed out in the public square right now by people who claim to be Christian is reprehensible in every possible way -- and is hurting the very being of the nation.

How does your faith inspire you to support Kamala Harris and Tim Walz?

Christians are called to love our neighbors. Our choice in this election is between Harris-Walz and Trump-Vance. It’s not a tough call: loving our neighbors in this election means voting Harris-Walz.

My faith inspires me to work for a nation where we love our neighbor means people have healthcare, immigrants have a pathway to citizenship (and 10 million are not deported), everyone can flourish economically and love who they want to love, also grow and support their families

The great sage Rabbi Akiva taught that Lev. 19:18 וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ "Love your neighbor as yourself,” is the greatest principle of the whole Torah. How we DO that is in part through electing leaders who will fight to keep us all safer. lifeisasacredtext.com/the-point-of-i…

I’ve know mayaberry for years. She’s widely recognized for her leadership in countering hate. This hearing was more proof why her work at Arab American Institute is so important.

Fascinating and encouraging new survey data from More in Common

Been talk today about Christian nationalists promoting "ends justify the means" thinking to defeat enemies. That truly reflects a broader trend. PRRI data show the more adults affirm CN, the more they agree "We need a leader willing to break some rules to set things right."

NEW: Kamala Harris is stepping up outreach to Mormon voters The Associated Press first reports that today her Arizona campaign will launch a Latter-day Saints for Harris-Walz advisory committee There are 450,000+ LDS voters in AZ that could reject Trump over morals apnews.com/article/mormon…

It was inspiring to be there in person to watch Skye Perryman (she/her) testify before Congress about the harms of Project 2025 — even while sitting next to some of the Project 2025 authors themselves!

The Mark Robinson story is actually a broader story about the Republican Party. When you empower a shameless depraved grifter like Donald Trump as the head of your party, your party will attract other shameless depraved grifters. The GOP is filled with weirdo frauds for a reason.

Mark Robinson’s hypocrisy is troubling, but Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II is right: it reveals a deeper moral failing that so many of his political allies share. They want to claim the mantel of God, but they don’t want to serve the poor, sick, & downtrodden that the Bible says God cares about.

The *many* Christians who believe their faith is under attack in the United States are not based in reality, says former Trump administration national security official Elizabeth Neumann. She says there’s no evidence of Christians being targeted with hate crimes or violence.

The Democratic coalition is much more racially diverse than the GOP coalition, yet 60+ percent of Democratic voters have been white in the past four elections.
