What is Christian Nationalism? How can it be dangerous? And how prevalent is it, really?
To answer these questions (and more!), two grantees, PRRIPoll & @USDemocracyLab @UConn partnered to research Christian Nationalism in America.

White christian nationalists wanna claim religious liberty rights for only them. But there is a long history of religious liberty supporting Black freedom. Check out the @LawRtsReligion Black Religious Liberty Curriculum, launches next Tues! Watch trailer: tinyurl.com/BRLC-Trailer

“The rebuttal receives comparatively little attention, which legitimizes #ChristianNationalism and makes diverse, interfaith, and pluralist Christian communities… difficult to locate”👀

If you think democracy and the fundamental principle of church-state separation are worth defending, spread the word with our NEW Project 2025 toolkit! au.org/project2025/

A survey from @PRRIpoll found that 11% of Americans are former Catholics. Across all the people PRRI surveyed, 47% of those who left their religion cited “negative teaching about or treatment of gay and lesbian people” in their decision.

In newly released recording, Project 2025 leader Russ Vought says that his viewpoint is “pretty close to Christian Nationalism,” but that he also believes in “Nationalism.” (He thought he was talking to potential donors, but they were British reporters.) 1/

While much attention has been given to the rise of Christian nationalism, not much attention has been given to those who are actively organizing to resist it. @RuthBraunstein, a sociologist based in UConn's @USDemocracyLab, is working to change that.

The challenge we face talking about Project 2025 is that it's a 900+ page policy manual full of sanitized jargon about a future threat. There have been no human stories to tell about the threat.
Until now.
Take 3 min to watch this video. Then share it.
