Christian nationalism is real. It is real in the sense that it is theologically backed by literalist interpretations of Scripture and has millions of adherents in the United States alone. I think most people are ill-informed about Christian nationalism and have two reactions: either exaggerate hysterically or dismiss immediately.

I think it's something we should all keep in mind when studying extremism of all brands, but especially with religious extremism—where emotions and convictions tend to run high.
