I don't have any issue with Christian Nationalism.
It's always Christians that have to bend to the will of Muslims or that of Jews in our Christian-majority nations.
Christians are the only western group of people that actually respects freedom of religion and yet always have to sway policies to be more accepting of degenerate philosophies. I'm not even a Christian, yet I find the argument so fascinating that Muslims have over 10 Religious states, Jews have Israel, yet the only thing that Christians have is a city, the Vatican. That is it.
Christians are being demonized in Christian-majority nations, and the people who run the media, which happen to be Jewish elites, fund projects and films that denigrate the Christian Religion. We LITERALLY have Jews making fun of Christianity in films and movies, but god forbid if we make fun of Jewish people.
There are very serious concerns of hypocrisy in the USA, if Christians can be demonized then the pedophile worshipping Muslims and the ultra-wealthy pedophile Jewish community should be demonized too.
The problem is that once you blend Christianity and the State, you lose the virtues of Christianity while gaining the corruption inherent in politics. The Church is in contrast to government.
It is voluntary, not coercive, although in the past, governments have tried to control the church while mandating membership and tithing. We certainly don't want another Church of England like we had in colonial times.
It not bound by geography, unlike governments which make territorial claims for their nations, and declare foreigners unclean. The Gospel has always been for everyone willing to accept it, regardless of skin color nor nationality.
The church is designed for service to the people. Governments are always designed to benefit the political class by plundering the productive economy through taxes, price controls, etc. while telling us the table scraps from their stolen feast is mana from heaven.
This is why nationalism and christianity cannot combine. "The words 'Christian state' resemble the words 'hot ice'. Such an entity is either not a state, or it is not Christian." - Leo Tolstoy (specific source document currently unknown)
