In our country we have a principle of freedom of religion, where anyone can practice any religion. So anyone that wants to make the entire country only their religion is a problem. Christians are fine. Christian Nationalists want us to be like Iran.
Ah, I misunderstood the term then. Cheers.
Is it correct to say that all US Christian Nationalists want a theocracy and would frame laws based solely on what's in the bible? I'd expect Johnson is almost certainly one of those, but I assumed there were more moderate ones who are guided by religion wouldn't want to go full Christian Sharia. edit: Like would Biden be considered a Christian Nationalist?
I'm very fond of the US actually, having been there a decent number of times, but I haven't met any of the proper loonies you see in the press as yet.
It's a growing movement, led, as best as I can tell, by television pastors. I don't know if its fair to paint them all that way, there are probably people that would refer to themselves as a Christian Nationalist that don't have a hardline interpretation of the words, and would not try to implement biblical law.
The leaders of the movement routinely call for it though.
A useful litmus test is do they want to ban the practice of Islam and ban existing Muslims from entering the country, or not?
That's clear. I've a better understanding now. Many thanks.
