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.
