Christian nationalism opposes the social justice Jesus commanded

Evidence

Once we see the gospel as good news for the present, good news for the marginalized, good news for the prisoner, good news for the poor, good news for the blind, and good news for the oppressed, we can begin to take the evidence that social science hands us about Christian nationalism and recognize this ideology as limiting—and in many cases outright opposing—the work Jesus claimed he came to do and commanded us to do likewise (Matt. 22:37–40). — Andrew L. Whitehead, American Idolatry, 91
