White Christian nationalism is a defensible empirical category, not a slur

Evidence

So, are we just peddling a slur? Are we throwing around a menacing name to demonize people with whom we disagree? Are we weaponizing vague buzzwords to silence conservative Christians who are just standing up for their values? Are we just mimicking reactionary leaders who smear progressives as “godless socialists” preaching “critical race theory” to the congregation of “wokeness”? … To each question, we answer “no.” We aim to define our terms carefully and back up our argument empirically. — Philip S. Gorski and Samuel L. Perry, The Flag and the Cross, 63
