    I personally have no idea how Christian nationalism is even a popular thing in the US.

    For all the “Founding Father” bullshit some of them spout, their heads would explode if they met Thomas Jefferson. Dude hated the Church so much he wrote his own Bible.

    Religious persecution was one of the things that influenced their decision to declare independence and they explicitly didn’t want US citizens to feel that same sense of persecution.

    That was the whole point of Jefferson’s “wall of separation between Church and State”.

    These people live in a reality far from our own.
