Evangelical rhetoric explains anti-US sentiment as hatred of Christian nationhood

Evidence

In another speech to the Good Shepherd Community Church in Sandy, Oregon, Boykin informed his audience, “Why do they hate us? The answer to that is because we’re a Christian nation. We are hated because we are a nation of believers.” Boykin repeated the myths propagated by European and American Orientalists who believed Christianity was superior to Islam. — Sahar F.
