As 2016s election wound down, political scientists scrambled to understand which issue pushed President Donald Trump over the finish line.
And while research showed economic dissatisfaction and prejudice toward immigrants and minorities to be a strong indicator of support for Trump, one study found that the best way to determine vote choice in 2016 was by gauging adherence to Christian nationalist ideology.
Christian nationalism, or the belief that the country is or should be a Christian nation that can often include social and political campaigns supposedly aimed at maintaining or reverting back to that status, is not a new phenomenon, but the fervor among its adherents grows stronger amid the United States shift toward a more diverse and secular country. A March 22-24 Morning Consult poll finds that nearly half of the voting public views that ideology as an important or critical threat to the vital interests of the country within the next 10 years.
Rachel Laser, president of the nonpartisan Americans United for Separation of Church and State, which opposes religion dictating public policy, said Christian nationalism is a threat because it takes up efforts to restrict the space for religious pluralism in the country and give special privileges to a narrow segment of white Christians in America.
There is a strong movement to preserve white Christian power in America right now, and a real feeling of fragility about the changing demographics of America, she said.
Many experts say conservative leaders have to varying degrees embraced sentiments that run contrary to the Constitutions call for separation of church and state, from the insistence on saying Merry Christmas to Trumps campaign call for a ban on Muslims entering the country.

How heavy did they oversample Dems?
IOW: Half the electorate is anti-Christian and anti-American.
The violent oppression of Christianity is the core craving of every Democrat.
Recent poll says 97% of all polls are frauds.
Mine is just as accurate as theirs.
the threat isnt christianity. its that we believe in the constitution including the 2nd amendment. We also believe that the 1st amendment applies to conservative patriots. We also believe that freedom of religion includes the right of Cristians to be Christian which was a right practiced by our founding fathers when they wrote the Constitution.
something will have to be done to eradicate the hateful treasonous bastards who are gaining almost total control of our society...
See my tag line.

No finding here. Just pushing fake news. They really are mentally ill.
Consider the author...
....who is into Eastern religious practices, meditation, Karma and the like. Also liberal and most likely Demorat.
Joanna Piacenza is/or was the Web Manager at Tricycle: The 'Buddhist' Review... practices Eastern meditation, yoga and the like.
Those who love God and call themselves Christian, those who love liberty, hate slavery, and love the United States and the principles which form the foundation of liberty - will always be anathama and the target of Satan’s servants, all who hate God and liberty, and seek to enslavement and destroy all things beautiful.
Interesting Propaganda meme moves to a direct attack on Christians. This piece identifies front groups supporting this When tracking dem candidates blast em if they have any connection with the ones mentioned here.
It may be true, but it's not news.
Yes, godless communists (aka globalists) do perceive Christian patriots as an impediment to their plans for global tyranny and serfdom.
The article seems to have no comment section.
Commie cowards.
I have a question. For those who love liberty, freedom, and what this nation represents, and are citizens, but NOT “Christian”, what of them? Will it be the same old ‘convert or die’ scheme? Pay a fine and receive absolution? Or be denounced, legally, as non’citizens?
