Panelists sound urgent wake-up call about the threat of Christian nationalism

Cizik said he prefers a definition of Christian nationalism that describes it as “political idolatry dressed up as religious orthodoxy.”

Educating evangelicals about the movement is necessary to help them abandon it, he added, saying non-partisan, faith-based inspirational messages sent to evangelicals about democracy and the dangers of Christian nationalism is the goal of Evangelicals for Democracy. “If you were to ask an evangelical what Christian nationalism is, they probably couldn’t define it. They just know their part of it or believe in it.”
