I guess when you’re the token conservative you have to play along with leftspeak like “Christian nationalist”.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Ya gotta remember he’s speaking to a Leftist audience given its the NYT. He’s trying to make them imagine what it might be like to have to be bathed in what they imagine to be horrible all the time, everywhere and in everything. That’s what its like to be a non Gaia Worshiper and non Socialist. The endless propaganda they try to shove down your throat at every turn in everything. You can’t even get away from it at the movies, in sports, anytime you turn on the TV, in school, etc. Its all pervasive.
