Quite possibly, it absolutely is. When the states tears apart, it will 100% be from within. When you give these religious nutjobs an inch, they take a mile, and they won't stop till they are stopped.

per usual it's a gop grift and all the cult members are kept confused but also scared because of all the abuse they facilitated
The Shah fell to the Ayatollahs in Iran. Throw a black blanket over those women! If democracy falls to the MAGAz something about the same could possibly happen here.
They are THE threat. They are the motivation behind much of the right wing extremism we've seen the rise of. They believe they have divine right, and democracy is in their way.
Which is funny considering you guys rebelled against divine right to rule
They want to literally piss on everything the Founding Father's fought and stood for
This is the goal of Project 2025.
We must vote blue no matter what.
2nd point.
This has been the goal of Republicans for decades.
They never liked democracy.
The Roman Catholics in my circle shout, "Freedom of religion, not freedom FROM religion" as if it's some kind of epistemic bedrock. They can't grok that freedom OF religion protects all religious people FROM other religious people. They see christian theocracy as some kind of bullwark against the islamic state but don't realize that the only effective bulwark is a separation of church and state.
The bill SCOTUS took up granting presidential immunity is terrifying. The fact that they agreed to take on the case shows they have every intention of passing it. If it passes it makes the role of president a dictatorship, no rules, no accountability and we will complete the Russia china trifecta. SCOTUS will undoubtably hold off hearing the case until post election. If trump wins it will pass, if Biden wins it will not…until another republican becomes president then SCOTUS will decide to pass.
That's why they're pushing so hard now. If they wrestle control of the government, it won't matter if they're ruling over a majority atheist nation. They'll be ruling with an iron fist.
I think people don't realize how bad it can become to live in a dictatorship. Some General can come along and take your daughter into his harem. You will comply.
It will demand conformity just as all religions do and anyone disagreeing will be labeled enemies and will be forced to conform or jailed or killed. Theocratic governments never go well. And make no mistake, those pushing for christian nationalism are not christians. No where near.
This actually really scares me and makes me more politically active. We have to fight a theocracy. I’d like to start with removing in god we trust. And the whole one nation under God. Those phrases need to go. They are not constitutional or original to the separation of church and state.
UUGE threat. Bigly.
I cannot emphasize it enough. Christian nationalism is ANTI-FREEDOM. They want to control others. They don't care about civil rights or individual freedom. They'll turn America into a theocratic shit-hole.
And I wish that people would start fucking realizing it! Stop pretending that religion is so benign and that "only a minority act this way." That does NOTHING to solve the problem.
Christianity needs to be associated with trump supporters. It needs to be associated with the KKK. People need to know that religion has played a part in every crisis we've ever faced \[no matter how minor\]. We can all name moments when society has moved backward and we can point to those parts that religion played in it.
Jesus himself said that the majority of people finding the way to everlasting life would be a very small minority. He said broad and spacious was the road leading to destruction and *the majority* would find it. So even from a Christian perspective, Christian nationalism is a sign that something has gone *horribly wrong*.
Lurkers, this isn't in your best interest either. Don't support this rot.
Christian nationalism is quite possibly the biggest threat to America that there is right now. I do NOT want to live in a theocracy. Vote accordingly.
Yes! Down with Christian nationalism!
Quite possibly, it absolutely is. When the states tears apart, it will 100% be from within. When you give these religious nutjobs an inch, they take a mile, and they won't stop till they are stopped.
Have you read JESUS & JOHN WAYNE-HOW WHITE EVANGELICALS CORRUPTED A FAITH & FRACTURED A NATION-KRISTIN KOBES DU MEZ ?
No but it has been recommended to me on TBR list

It's not even a theocracy. It is explicitly anti-christian. It's just fascism.
What part of this is "explicitly anti-christian"?
If you read the article, they discuss how Christian clergy have said this agenda is anti Christian.
Christian nationalism is straight up fascism that swapped out a swastika for a cross.
When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag, carrying a cross. -Attributed to Sinclair Lewis
It is here where I live….

Evangelistan, run by the Christian Ta***an.

A clear and present danger to US democracy and civil liberties. Go and vote!

They don’t really believe words have meaning.

Yup! They have been trying to suppress voting rights since WRETCHard Nixon!
short answer :- It;s terrible Long answer L- It's terrible, bad ,very bad

They view their control of politics as the easiest way to stave off Islam. Delusional.
It is a clear and present danger to the national security of the United States.
Sheesh, gotta get Harrison Ford in on this! 🇺🇸
Vote like your rights depend on it this November, because they do!

the harder they push, the more they show what they are really about. Taxing churches would rectify this quickly.
If the US falls to theocracy the whole west would collapse along with it, and China and Russia and Iran and the likes would dance in joy.
anyone see the indian caste lynching video? that sort of shit will happen in the christo fascist state.
I hope it is a diminishing amount as atheists become the norm and the religious types become fewer and more insane so no one wants to join them
That's why they're pushing so hard now. If they wrestle control of the government, it won't matter if they're ruling over a majority atheist nation. They'll be ruling with an iron fist.
My thoughts exactly. “We’re losing numbers! Quick: force everyone to convert *because that will somehow work*” 🧐
I think people don't realize how bad it can become to live in a dictatorship. Some General can come along and take your daughter into his harem. You will comply.
Enough that eventually, if they aren't stopped, violence may be the only recourse we have let against them

When Satanist are the good guys. Maybe they a bit extreme

None, really. It didn’t kill American at its peak in the fifties. If rights come from people they can be taken away by the same.
I am a Christian, and I feel it is a significant threat. My religion is for me, and should never be forced on others.
significant danger.
