Christian Nationalism - Central Ontario Humanists

We promote secularism as a way of achieving freedom and personal development of all everyone. Christian Nationalism is a rejection of this idea, and demands adherence to narrow, sectarian social, economic and political views.

Wikipedia's definition:

Christian nationalism is a form of religious nationalism that focuses on promoting the Christian views of its followers, in order to achieve prominence or dominance in political, cultural, and social life.[1][2] In countries with a state church, Christian nationalists seek to preserve the status of a Christian state.

Notes:

Anti-Fan Channels, reactionary fandom, are an entire project to white wash Christian Nationalism.

It's more than Trump: How Christian nationalism drives our politics

Christian Nationalism and religosity or being Christian are not tightly linked even if they may seem the same from the outside. But CN sometimes moves in the opposite direction as being Xtian.
