Christian-majority societies show comparable institutional and historical sexism.

Evidence

But do these observations mean that Islam is inherently misogynistic and that Muslim women cannot find freedom or full personhood in Islam? To conclude that Islam is by definition misogynistic is to risk promoting Islamophobia by ignoring the larger historical, political, and cultural realities both in Muslim countries and in the West. For starters, patriarchy and the oppression of women are not unique to Muslim societies or to practices within Islam. The history of Western Christianity is also one of patriarchy. — Green, Todd H, The Fear of Islam_ An Introduction to…, 308 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

Christian ideology played no little role in women’s oppression. Without a doubt, there is a breath of charity in the Gospels that spread to women as well as to lepers; poor people, slaves, and women are the ones who adhere most passionately to the new law. In the very early days of Christianity, women who submitted to the yoke of the Church were relatively respected; they testified along with men as martyrs; but they could nonetheless worship only in secondary roles; deaconesses were authorized only to do lay work: caring for the sick or helping the poor. And although marriage is considered an institution demanding mutual fidelity, it seems clear that the wife must be totally subordinate to the husband: through Saint Paul the fiercely antifeminist Jewish tradition is affirmed. — Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex, 204 (#expands, via linked claim)

Despite these close connections with economic views, sexism, racism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia, however, Christian nationalism is not synonymous with or reducible to any or all of these. Rather, Christian nationalism operates as a set of beliefs and ideals that seek the national preservation of a supposedly unique Christian identity. Voting for Donald Trump was for many Americans a Christian nationalist response to perceived threats to that identity. — Andrew L. Whitehead, Samuel L. Perry, and Joseph O.
