Christian Nationalism
and its impact to religious trauma survivors
Definition of Christian Nationalism
A socio-political ideology that merges Christian identity with national identity, asserting that a nation's policies, culture, and laws should reflect specific Christian values and beliefs. Christian nationalism often promotes the idea that true citizenship is defined by adherence to certain religious principles, which can marginalize or exclude those with differing beliefs. This ideology frequently invokes themes of morality, loyalty, and exclusivity, impacting both religious communities and political landscapes.
