Christian nationalism resists even immigrants who share the same faith

Evidence

The influence of white Christian nationalism is so strong that it even predisposes American Christians to resist immigrants and refugees who share the same religious identity. This is “because immigrant newcomers’ religious identities are only part of a broader national narrative positing that moral and religious values—defined by White Christian Protestantism—make some groups assimilable to America’s culture, whereas others are deemed fundamentally incompatible with what it means to be American.” White Christian nationalism prevents American Christians from accepting the immigrant and stranger even when they are fellow Christians and especially if they are not. — Andrew L. Whitehead, American Idolatry, 666
