One in four white evangelicals resists or rejects Christian nationalism
Evidence
A significant minority of white evangelicals are taking real steps to confront Christian nationalism. About 25 percent of white evangelicals are “Rejecters” or “Resisters” of Christian nationalism. Readers and leaders outside white evangelicalism confronting Christian nationalism ignore those allies at their own peril. Successfully opposing Christian nationalism will require all of us—Rejecters, Resisters, and hopefully increasing numbers of Accommodators—to work together. — Andrew L. Whitehead, American Idolatry, 167
