Excellent article on #ChristianNationalism in @theatlantic.com by Stephanie @mccrummen.bsky.social quotes @matthewdtaylor.bsky.social of ICJS.
This excellent long-form piece in @theatlantic.com by @mccrummen.bsky.social shows just how outdated the conventional wisdom about the "religious right" is.

"In another sense, the movement has never been about policies or changes to the law; it’s always been about the larger goal of dismantling the institutions of secular government to clear the way for the Kingdom. It is about God’s total victory." www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...
