Un-Baptizing American Christian Nationalism<\/h2>\n Un-Baptizing American Christian Nationalism<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n How do you like the phrase, \u201cUn-baptizing American Christian Nationalism\u201d? I think it aptly applies to hordes of Christians fleeing the label \u2018Christian\u2019 in order to dis-identify with the phantasmic Christian nationalist (CN) dragon. The CN dragon spits fire. So, Christians Against Christian Nationalism (CACN) are dowsing it by broadly spraying disapprobation.<\/p>\n On June 4, 2024 Brian Kaylor and Beau Underwood launched their new book, Baptizing America: How Mainline Protestants Helped Build Christian Nationalism<\/em><\/a>. Up until this point, I\u2019ve been arguing that the specter of American Christian Nationalism (ACN) has provided a smoke screen for anti-evangelical execration. It appears now that Kaylor and Underwood want to extend their odium to mainline Protestants and even to Civil Religion. So, it appears.<\/p>\n Here is what I take as the central thesis of this new book. Mainline Christian denominations made a\u2026<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026comprehensive effort to merge church and state, thus setting the stage for Christian Nationalism that today inspires evangelicals and Pentecostals to storm the U.S. Capitol, push for Christian practices in public schools, and advocate for a host of other problematic mergers of God and country\u201d (Kaylor and Underwood 2024, 18).<\/p>\n In other words, today\u2019s ACN among evangelicals and Pentecostals is the prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of yesterday\u2019s mentoring by mainline Protestants who advanced Civil Religion.<\/p>\n Un-Baptizing America in Baptizing America<\/em><\/h3>\n <\/a> Baptizing America or Un-Baptizing American Christain Nationalism. Click for book.<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n*** ** Perhaps the most accurate sentence in the new book is this one: \u201cAs attention to Christian Nationalism rises, the concept ironically becomes more ambiguous\u201d\u00a0(Kaylor and Underwood 2024, 6). Kaylor and Underwood expand the term\u2019s ambiguity to include \u201cUnder God\u201d in the Pledge of Allegiance along with National Prayer Breakfasts and allusions to divine providence in presidential speeches. With these as criteria, we would have to fear Abraham Lincoln\u2019s Second Inaugural Address as an existential threat to our democracy.<\/p>\n ** ***My regular complaint in this Patheos<\/em> series on ACN and CACN has been this: the ambiguity of terms such as \u2018American Christian Nationalism\u2019 provides a smokescreen for ACN\u2019s critics to condemn nearly everyone they don\u2019t like. Usually, it\u2019s the evangelicals who get slammed. Now with Kaylor and Underwood, it\u2019s the entire history of interaction between Protestant Christianity and the Enlightenment. I for one thank God for providentially marrying Christian insight with Enlightenment reason so we could birth children such as equality, dignity, democracy, the rule of law, and a mission to expand freedom around the globe.<\/p>\n Un-Baptizing America\u2019s Civil Religion<\/h3>\n***** ** Kaylor and Underwood include in their line-up of CN culprits the history of Civil Religion. It was Bob Bellah, a colleague of mine here in Berkeley, who in 1967 painted the picture of Civil Religion we all recognize. Philip Gorski at Yale is putatively today\u2019s expert.<\/p>\n ** Yes, America\u2019s Puritan history and inclusion of religious symbols in its identity has some awkward chapters. But one enduring and wholesome value in Civil Religion is that it holds America under the judgment of a higher justice. If America fails in its responsibility to exact justice, God will render judgment against America just as God treated ancient Israel. And just as God judged America for the sin of slavery in the Civil War, as Abraham Lincoln tells it. Here is the key passage in Robert Bellah\u2019s corpus.<\/p>\n ** *****\u201c\u2026participation in the sacred through one\u2019s citizenship does not involve the worship of the American nation but an understanding of the American experience in the light of ultimate and universal reality\u201d (Bellah 1967, 18).<\/p>\n Great Seal of the United States.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n***** ** I thank Kaylor and Underwood for citing this passage. This passage clearly affirms how our inherited Civil Religion is anything but the kind of na\u00efve nationalist ideology that justifies any tyranny that one\u2019s nation might inflict. It demonstrates that Civil Religion does not fit the metric CACNers use to measure ACN.<\/p>\n ** *****It is my evaluation that Kaylor and Underwood provide a weak argument. One of the byproducts is that their definition of ACN is so ambiguous that it fails to distinguish between the revolutionary threat of theocracy, on the one hand, and garden variety patriotism, on the other.<\/p>\n Conclusion<\/h2>\n As I\u2019ve mentioned in previous posts, I\u2019m a signatory to the Christians Against Christian Nationalism<\/a> Statement. I applaud CACN plus Kaylor and Underwood along with numerous other scholars who are forthrightly taking a stand against ACN. They are correct when they declare that ACN ideology is idolatrous and dangerous.[1]\n<\/p> Yet I fear that allowing the parameters for defining American Christian Nationalism to wander aimlessly this direction and that \u2014 without a discriminating core definition \u2014 risk prejudicing us against evangelicals and other patriotic traditionalists who are innocent of the charge.<\/p>\n PT 3243 Un-Baptizing American Christian Nationalism<\/span><\/h4>\n PT 3200 Christian Nationalism Resources<\/a><\/p>\n \u2593<\/p>\n Ted Peters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n For Patheos<\/em>, Ted Peters posts articles and notices in the field of Public Theology<\/a>.
