Christian nationalist ideology vs. constitutional principles: Trump lawyer turned Christian-right radio host Jenna Ellis calls it a "perverted notion" that "somehow our Constitution demands pluralism." Fight for the idea that religious pluralism is at the heart of what it means to be American!

Ableism--the belief that some bodies are inherently worth more than others, with worth often hinging on your capacity to be independent and productive for the economy--is a key organizing principle of the current administration. They do not see the inherent value of all citizens.

Congrats to @wthrockmorton.bsky.social on the release of his new book, "The Christian Past that Wasn't: Debunking the Christian Nationalist Myths that Hijack History." I blurbed this book b/c I believe in the work. He dismantles 7 key myths. Check it out! www.broadleafbooks.com/store/produc...

Honored to have the endorsement of social psychologist David Myers for my book The Christian Past That Wasn't. After using his text for many years, it is a thrill to have his good words.

Excited to get into the forthcoming book from @wthrockmorton.bsky.social on Christian Nationalism and its attempt to creat a false American mythos.

Glad to see this important book from my old pal @wthrockmorton.bsky.social, who I got to know fighting US Christian right backing for Uganda’s “kill the gays” bill. Warren, a conservative Christian teaching at a Christian college, was a hero. He’s been fighting the good fight ever since.

Speaking, as I was earlier today, of @kkdumez.bsky.social and @bradleyonishi.bsky.social (as well as @matthewdtaylor.bsky.social , @wthrockmorton.bsky.social , @adriandaub.bsky.social and probably lots of others I’m shamefully forgetting)…

One of these political leaders has been repeatedly portrayed as an untrustworthy radical hostile to others because of his religious beliefs. You’’ll never guess which one!

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

This is what moral bankruptcy looks like. Trump does not realize that one day the same will be said about him… by millions.

This is an important thread from @bradleyonishi.bsky.social on the ongoing conversation around Christian nationalism. In short: faith in politics is not CN. My coauthors and I never argued that, & the empirically supported definition of CN that I & others developed and refined never claims that.

1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.
