Summary of Philip S. Gorski & Samuel L. Perry's The Flag and the Cross

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 White Christian nationalism is defined as a constellation of beliefs that reflect a desire to restore and privilege the myths, values, identity, and authority of a particular ethnocultural tribe. It rejects pluralism and what many on the right call globalism.

#2 We used seven different indicators of Christian nationalism in our survey. Each asks Americans to indicate their level of agreement with various statements. For example, the first statement asks whether Americans consider the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution to be divinely inspired.

#3 The whiteness of white Christian nationalism is important to understand. When that link is missing, as it is among Black Americans who score high on our Christian nationalism measure, the connection to the political vision is broken.

#4 White Christian nationalist groups have been using religion to hide race for a long time. They simply assume that all conservative Christians are white, and use that to justify their beliefs.
