(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.

“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.”
So black religious nationalism either Christian like what tbe Obamas’ practiced in Chicago or Islamic like what is practiced all over the country is ok?
Acts 17
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
I’m a white, Christian, patriot who fights for this country and it’s ideals.
democrats have been calling people like myself names for decades.
it doesn’t matter.
we know who the enemy of the state is.
We are living in very dangerous times when propaganda passes for resolutions and laws.
Please list them.

Me, as well.
So you can’t believe in God or America at the same time?
The left will not be happy until all white people are imprisoned for the crime of being born white. Of course, such crime will not be applied to white liberals, for they willingly submit to the required struggle sessions.
Democrats are racist pigs. Being white and Christian is a threat to them. It’s all fake. That filthy party is built on a big stack of lies.
People have often stated that BLM is the militant branch of the Democrat Party. That’s not quite correct.
The Democrat Party is the political branch of BLM.
I do remember watching it on TV in real-time though. It was ugly.
Guilty as charged. I am white, Christian, and a nationalist who does not support the WEF or globalist agenda. I also abhor killing babies +1000
Perfect.
First of all, Democrats are liars. Second, they are dishonest. They cannot be trusted, and shouldn’t be entrusted with running our country.
They voice passed the resolution 3 times but the DNC chair ignored it saying it didn’t pass. The optics for the party and Obama at the time were too negative so they brushed it right by in 2012. I don’t recall in 2016 if removing God directly was up for a vote in the DNC. I think they went with more “inclusivity” which would have had a smothering affect on traditional family planks and didn’t bring the “god issue’ up again in 2016. Trump became the ultimate evil.
So “brown religious” bigotry (Omar/Tlaib) is OK?
Agreed. Things like this are just baby steps before ultimately white christians in America will be targeted like Jews in Nazi Germany.
I will never register, turn in, or buy any “required” insurance(backdoor registration) for any of my 2A supplies for this very reason.
