Minor nitpick: it was time to start worrying about Christian nationalism over twenty years ago. They’ve been trying to legitimize Christian nationalism since at least the founding of the “Moral Majority” when I was a boy. I’ve been trying to sound the alarm about Dominionism and Christian nationalism since the second Bush administration.
But if you’re late to the game, fine. The second best time to start worrying about Christian nationalism is now.
“the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.”
-Treaty of Tripoli, Article 11
I like to pull that one out right after I ask these people about their opinions of the founding fathers. You can smell the gears burning before the bullshit starts flowing out their mouth again lol.
That’s the most explicitly written stance on religion for the US I’ve heard of, but I’m not sure these CN dummies care whatsoever about what was written as a shipping and anti-piracy deal with Libya, which was also written in Arabic.
Is that inspired from Alex O Connor’s recent video?
It’s possible, but we’ve been talking about that for at least fifteen years to counter the “the Founders intended us to be a Christian nation” nonsense.
As if these people care about a treaty they’ve never heard of and will never inform themselves about
That’s why you ask them about he founding fathers first, then you can show them who signed it.
