    the more nuanced and relatively benign idea that everyone should be converted to Christianity and in that sense be a “Christian” nation while nominally maintaining separation of church and state.

    Forcible conversion and theocracy is benign and nuanced to you?

      Nope.

      But the more benign ones won’t “force” it, so much as just try and annoy the fuck out of everyone. They’re largely of the belief that it’s inevitable, all they have to do is keep doing what they’re doing and everybody will just convert… because something.

      It’s like that guy who believe everyone should be NFL fans for…whatever reason.

      Which is, of course, my entire point. There’s different perspectives on what “christian nation” even means to them. ranging from the relatively benign “we should just convince everyone to be christians” through to the “every one whose not should be beheaded.”… and I think you knew that. I’m not defending christianity- it’s awful. But, that study had some glaringly bad decisions in questions.
