From “American Idolatry: How Christian Nationalism Betrays The Gospel and Threatens The Church” by Andrew L. Whitehead
The short answer to whether Christian nationalism is only a small-scale phenomenon is a resounding no. Christian nationalism is not relegated to the fringes of white evangelicalism. Survey after survey of the American public from the late 1990s until today repeatedly underscore one basic fact: a substantial portion of Americans – especially within but also outside white evangelicalism – embraces Christian nationalism. Any pastor, religious leader, or politician who downplays or minimizes the degree to which Christian nationalism endures throughout the broader population and especially within white evangelicalism is either lying or misinformed.
