(RNS) - The Democratic National Committee has passed a resolution condemning “white religious nationalism,” declaring that “theocracy is incompatible with democracy and religious freedom.”
The resolution was approved over the weekend as Democratic Party officials gathered in Philadelphia for their winter meeting. The resolution, put forward by more than 30 co-sponsors from across the country, linked forms of religious nationalism to racist ideologies, arguing that “one of many heinous elements of white nationalism is its perversion of religion to make their hateful message more palatable.”
The authors noted that faith leaders from across the religious spectrum have condemned religious nationalism - particularly Christian nationalism or white Christian nationalism - in recent years. They said its influence was visible during the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
“White religious nationalism has used the cover of patriotism to foment and inflame hate by providing cover for racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and islamophobia,” the resolution read in part.
The document, first reported by the Friendly Atheist Substack newsletter, went on to draw connections between religious nationalism and the Republican Party. The resolution implicitly linked the ideology to various conservative efforts, including the overturning of the landmark Roe v. Wade decision last summer by the Supreme Court.
**SNIP**
“Since he was elected, President Biden has been warning Americans about the threats to our democracy on multiple fronts,” Levin said in a statement. “White Christian nationalism should be at the top of that list, and for the sake of our democracy, it’s time to call it what it is.”
this white religious nationalism insurrection must be stopped now, someone quick call the fbi /s
Brilliant!
The Left wants division of people, and to remain in power they need their ‘Goldstein’ as in Orwell’s ‘1984’.
It would be accurate to say nationalism and the accomplishments of white people are a good things. That in spite of human imperfection, the result was the greatest country on earth. But to make this argument, even suggest it, will have a starved rabid dog effect on you. You will be their Goldstein, subject to much more than 2 minutes of daily scheduled hate.
You’ll be the rally cry for the Left in the next election cycle, and that’s what those evil bastards want.
It cannot be overstated. Leftists are the dirtiest, smelliest, most ugly vermin to ever walk the face of the earth. They are barely above the level of e-coli bacteria.
There is literally nothing good about them. Even when they die, their bodies are hazardous material of no value. The world would be a far better place if they had never lived at all.
It wasn’t always like this but ever since obozo was placed in office to start all the Marxist hate, it has snowballed into an avalanche of putrid leftist hate.
Freedom of Religion.
Freedom of Speech.
Freedom to bare arms.
I see a pattern.
Understand one thing if nothing e!se regarding Democrats They want you dead nothing would make them happier than mass Graves full of the corpse of those who disagree with them!
Except in Ukraine where we use it to fight wars for us.
And they will define ‘white religious nationalism’ as anything that goes against their agenda.
These “people” can piss off. I am proud to be a White Christian Nationalist.
For example, if you're white or "white adjacent" (another undefined buzz word) and think there are only two sexes, you could be a "white religious nationalist" because the Nazis also thought so.
See how easy it is to be a white religious nationalist?
They used to use the word “Fascist” in the same way, anyone they didn’t like was a “Fascist”.
The First Amendment provides that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise. It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Someone should bring Joseph Kony over here.
Theocracy is incompatible with democracy
So the communist democrat disbanded itself.
That is coming; you can take that to the bank.
They’re just looking for the right excuse, their Reichstag moment.
Of course it's OK.
It's one way out of the mess we are in, and the only one that doesn't involve millions of dead.
