To mark the third anniversary of the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection, WYPR’s Sheilah Kast discussed the beliefs underpinning the Christian nationalist movement with PRRI Founder and President @robertpjones Listen: wypr.org/show/on-the-record/…

Americans overall are much more likely to express a preference for the U.S. to be a nation made up of people belonging to a VARIETY of religions (73%). Conversely, Christian nationalism adherents overwhelmingly express a preference for a PRIMARILY Christian nation (77%).

Put differently, Christian nationalist adherents are a minority but when combined with sympathizers still comprise a stunning 29% of Americans — many tens of millions. Nearly 6 in 10 QAnon believers are also either Christian nationalism sympathizers (29%) or adherents (29%).

~2/3 of white evangelical Protestants qualify as either #ChristianNationalism sympathizers (35%) or adherents (29%). Republicans (21%) are ~4x as likely as Dems (5%) to be adherents of Christian nationalism. A thread @JRubinBlogger on @PRRIpoll CN data. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Polling by PRRI shows that the attitudes associated with white racism thrive along a spectrum and can be found within every Christian denomination. Dramatic displays of resentment, radicalism, and racism reflect a warped Christian religiosity. @TIME time.com/6320023/america-div…

Adherents of #ChristianNationalism are almost 7x as likely as those who reject it to support political violence. 40% of CN supporters believe that true American patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save the U.S. @RDispatches #YearInReview religiondispatches.org/shoul…

Recent data from PRRI demonstrates a dramatic increase in support for political violence. Republicans who view Trump favorably are nearly 3x as likely as the few Republicans who don't support him to believe in the necessity of resorting to violence. newsweek.com/what-would-jesu…

A @BrookingsInst/@PRRIpoll found that a majority of respondents who said they most trust Fox News leaned toward Christian nationalism. Adherents and sympathizers amount to 10% and 19% of Americans, respectively. @Salon salon.com/2023/12/23/the-sto…

Women clergy are far more likely than men clergy to identify as members of the Democratic Party (71% vs. 43%, respectively) and as liberal (80% vs. 49%, respectively). New analysis from @PRRIpoll's CEO @MelissaDeckman. @RDispatches religiondispatches.org/study…

Two decades ago, white Evangelicals comprised over a quarter of the U.S. population. This number has since dropped to about 15%, according to a 2021 survey by @PRRIpoll. @HarryBruinius, @csmonitor: Meet the post-Evangelical Christians. csmonitor.com/The-Culture/20…

Only 32% of Black Protestants agree that “God intended America to be a new promised land where European Christians could create a society that could be an example to the rest of the world,” vs. 56% of white evangelical respondents. @GayleCaleb, @NYMag nytimes.com/2023/03/14/magaz…

#ChristianNationalism is correlated with support for political violence, white supremacy, hostile sexism, nativism and xenophobia, authoritarianism, and a range of beliefs and attitudes that are illiberal and anti-democratic. @chaunceydevega, @Salon salon.com/2023/02/14/church-…

“One of the most blatant acts of public hypocrisy I’ve witnessed, in more than 2 decades observing conservative white Christians, was their discarding of the ‘values voters’ moniker along the road to supporting Trump.” @robertpjones. @washingtonpost washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
