Talking to your friends and family about Christian nationalism
Last week, we saw the dangers of Christian nationalism on display when many of the insurrectionists at the U.S. Capitol cloaked their violent acts in Christian imagery.
Christian nationalism can manifest itself in earth-shattering acts and in smaller — but still insidious — ways. Many of your friends and family might be seeing the dangers of Christian nationalism in a new light, and we want to provide resources for you to engage in conversations and help others call out this dangerous ideology.
