Even if unpopular, CS is an extremist hub linking to other far-right ideologies & behaviors. I hope this project sparks more rigorous, civic, cross-faith, and interdisciplinary work on Christian nationalism & preventing its statist turn. (AI assist: I wrote the content; ChatGPT o3 helped edit.) 6/6

And Problem #3: We lack research on prevention & de-radicalization of the statist variant of CN. How should governments, communities, clergy, educators, scholars & civic actors intervene against CS drift? Our study only scratches this. 5/6

Problem #2: CS's risk is often understated by scholars who criticize the literature. CS frames can move through shared religious symbols & narratives, radicalizing more conventional Judeo-Christian believers and pressuring religious pluralism and multiculturalism. 4/6

The current literature is suffering from three problems. Problem #1: The popularity of CS is often overstated. Nat'l surveys usually find only a minority of U.S. adults endorse CS items. 3/6

CS promotes that the nation state should enforce dominance of white Protestantism while RT assumes a Christian majority accompany with religious tolerance (not pluralism). And the study is the first to show how they are related to distinct beliefs/practices on God-human relationship.2/6
