Over the weekend, conversation among Christian leaders on Twitter began to swell, as a pair of tweets suggested that Christian nationalism can be a good thing if properly defined.
Christian nationalism (CN) has been a major concern for American evangelicals and non-evangelicals alike, given the widespread belief in conspiracy theories among certain factions of the political right, as well as the physical violence that can result from those beliefs. This danger was exemplified by the January 6 insurrection against the U.S. Capitol Building, which melded conspiracy theories and religious language. Much of the imagery that accompanied the insurrection was Christian in nature.
