Julie Ingersoll provides an instructive rundown of what white Christian nationalism of the ilk of Douglas Wilson, Pete Hegseth's pastor, intends to impose on the US (and the entire world).

"Proponents of America as a Christian nation are often somewhat hazy about what the end state of a 'Christian nation' would look like specifically, but Wilson and his followers have carefully laid out a detailed vision."

"For them, a Christian nation would be governed directly by biblical law, and in every area of of its common life and culture it would be shaped by a comprehensive 'biblical world and life view.'
A Christian nation, in his account, is a nation in which there is no area of life and culture where the Bible is not the ultimate authority."

"Wilson and other Christian nationalists draw on a framework known as 'sphere sovereignty' to interpret and apply the Bible to every area of modern life. ...
The government would advance a view of the world that is deeply patriarchal—" (continued in /5)

"not merely condoning a form of women’s submission in marriage that has been common in evangelicalism, but also severely limiting leadership roles in the church and in government and society to men only. …
Wilson & his followers would deny not only women but also non-Christians the franchise and the right to pursue public office."

"They would limit the ability of believers of other faiths—including non-Protestant Christians—to publicly practice their faith; Wilson recently said on a podcast that the theocratic society he envisions would ban mosques from broadcasting calls to prayer and prohibit Catholic parades honoring the Virgin Mary."

"Wilson's remarks at the Pentagon assured the audience that their battles were God’s battles, that God would be their protector just as he was for figures from scripture like Noah and David. He suggested that God’s people, having searched for the enemy, now realize they are surrounded—the implication presumably being that the real enemy is other Americans."

"The Protestant denomination that loved Donald Trump the most in 2024?
Easily the Assemblies of God.
He received 88% of their votes.
There was only one majority white denomination that clearly favored Kamala Harris:
Episcopalians."
~ Ryan Burge
See the chart below accompanying Burge's remarks.
Again: white Christians own the Trump presidency, its manifold cruelties and attack on democracy.
Kai Schwemmer, the new white supremacist leader of the College Republicans, is getting well-deserved attention — for his bigotry and close ties to Nick Fuentes.
What also demands attention here, but is being overlooked by media: like Nick Shirley, whose vile racist videos about Somalis in Minneapolis helped spark Trump's DHS/ICE attacks on that city, Schwemmer is a Mormon from Utah.

"We must be clear as Christian preachers and teachers that this war is only possible because of a distortion of our faith. A movement of religious nationalists who misuse and abuse Christianity has laid the groundwork for a holy war."
~ William J. Barber II and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove
"Even when we can’t yet see a clear way toward peace, faith demands that we confess clearly: no war is holy. Christians do not put our hope in bombs and destruction."
White evangelicals also seek to convert all public education into voucher schools where only their version "Christian Academy" exists.
You would think that the Roman Catholic, Muslim, Eastern Orthodox, Judaic, Latter Day Saints, Buddhist, Hindu, and Jehovah Witness etc would object to the government forcing children to convert to the Southern Baptist Congregation.
