"Christian nationalists like to say that this is a christian nation. Not only is that historically inaccurate, not only is that theologically blasphemous, but it's also just not true. Look around us. If this was truly a Christian nation, we would forgive student debt. If this was truly a Christian nation, we would guarantee healthcare to every single person. If this was truly a Christian nation, we would love all of our LGBQ neighbors. If this was truly a Christian nation, we would make sure that every child in this state and country is housed, fed, clothed, educated, and insured. If this was truly a Christian nation, we would never make it, because we know the table of fellowship is open to everybody, including our Buddhist, Hindu, JewishMuslimsSikh, and atheist neighbors. Jesus could have started a Christian theocracy, but love would never do that. Christian nationalists are more committed to the love of power, than to the power of love. And it exposes a lack of faith. Because the opposite of faith is not doubt, the opposite of faith, is control."
