Christian Nationalism

Posted on September 14, 2025 by bernardporter2013

A ‘Christian nationalist’ – which is how Charlie Kirk is being described – is not the same as being a ‘Christian’. It’s a tribal affiliation, not a religious one. The intolerance and hatred – of other ‘nations’ – that stem from it, and the white racism that it is often a cover for, are certainly no part of Christ’s teaching, but rather the opposite; which leaves one wondering whether any of these Christian nationalists have got much beyond the Old Testament, if they’ve read any of the Bible at all. (Perhaps they should be called ‘Judaeo-nationalists’; but that might open up a whole new can of anti-semitic worms.) Christianity’s role in this context should be to alleviate the evils of ‘nationalism’ proper, which lie at the root of many of the most atrocious conflicts of the modern world. Instead, and in the USA today, it simply sharpens their edges.

    Luke 10, The Parable of the Good Samaritan

    Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians 3:28, “In Christ there is neither Jew nor Gentile”

    “Christian Nationalism” makes about as much sense as it would to have a friend of Jeffrey Epstein running the Labour Party…!
