Personally, I fear it because theocracy never bring good results. Look at Iran, Afghanistan.

    As a Christian, I think nationalism in all its forms is contrary to the Gospel. Christian nationalism is thus an oxymoron, which misuse Christianity to attain its goals. It’s bad for the society, bad for the people, bad for spirituality.

      I don’t think being a Christian gives you a unique perspective on nationalism; as a non-Christian who has read the bible I think nationalism in all its forms is contrary to the gospel.

        I agree that it doesn’t give a unique perspective, at least not on this quite obvious subject. But in the past I have been accused to hide the fact that I’m Christian when I didn’t precised it, and thus, to argument in bad faith (pun intended). So now I tend to state it.
