My point is one that hasn’t really been made in recent discussions of Christian nationalism, probably because conversations are so focused on Trumpian Christian Nationalism, but it’s one worth making: there are different Christian Nationalisms. This shouldn’t be surprising. If the Gospel affects how we live out our civic lives, then we will inevitably bring a particular sort of Christianity—myths, traditions, symbols, narratives, value systems— to bear on our civic lives.
