Christian Nationalists and their political allies can be found practicing most religions, and some may not practice religion at all. Just because they do not go to church regularly, however, does not mean they are not religious because it is possible to subscribe to some Christian Nationalism doctrines and philosophies without attending church. Nevertheless, according to a recent poll, Christian nationalism adherents are nearly twice as likely as Americans overall to report attending religious services at least a few times a month.

That said, it is also safe to say that, in general, Christian Nationalists tend to be of the Pentecostal persuasion. See this link for an introduction to Pentecostalism.

Pentecostal churches may not include the word Pentecostal in the name of the church, but here are some clues that help identifying Pentecostals:

• • The word “bible” often appears in the name of the church.
  • They generally hold closely to the concept of biblical literalism and sermons will commonly emphasize the inerrancy of the bible.
  • Members will typically practice speaking in tongues.
  • Members will freely use religious language in conversation and political speeches to advertise their spirituality.
  • Worship teams on stage will lead the congregation in singing modern praise music.
  • Doctrines will emphasize movements of the Holy Spirit, physical healing and end-times prophecies.
  • Pastors may often preach on political issues.

‎
If congregants practice some or all of these behaviors, chances are it is a Pentecostal church. It must be said, however, that these behaviors are not exclusive to Pentecostal churches or to Christian Nationalists.

Other beliefs of Christian Nationalists are identified in a recent poll:

• • • Christian nationalism adherents overwhelmingly express a preference to live in a primarily Christian nation (77%, including 59% who believe this strongly).
    • Nearly 7 in 10 Christian nationalism adherents (69%) agree that the husband is the head of the household in “a truly Christian family,” and his wife submits to his leadership, compared to only 33% of all Americans.
    •  Christian nationalism adherents are nearly twice as likely as Americans overall to report attending religious services at least a few times a month (54% vs. 28%).
    • White evangelical Protestants are significantly more supportive of Christian nationalism than any other group. Nearly two-thirds of white evangelical Protestants qualify as either Christian nationalism adherents (29%) or sympathizers (35%).
    • Seven in 10 (71%) of Christian nationalism adherents embrace so-called “replacement theory,” the idea that immigrants are “invading our country and replacing our cultural and ethnic background.”
    • Two-thirds (67%) of Christian nationalism adherents say we should prevent people from some majority Muslim countries from entering the United States, compared to only 29% of all Americans.
    • More than 8 in 10 Christian nationalism adherents (83%) agree with this statement: “God intended America to be a new promised land where European Christians could create a society that could be an example to the rest of the world.”
    • Christian nationalism adherents overwhelmingly express a preference to live in a primarily Christian nation (77%, including 59% who believe this strongly).
    • Republicans (21%) are about four times as likely as Democrats (5%) or independents (6%) to be adherents of Christian nationalism.

These are alarming statistics that do not bode well for the influence of Christian Nationalism in America. The alarm rings louder when we consider the global growth of Pentecostalism reported in this link and the global appetite for authoritarian political leaders reported in these links:

• • • Global Dynamics of Authoritarian Populism
    • Authoritarian Rule Challenging Democracy as Dominant Global Model
    • The Global Expansion of Authoritarian Rule
    • A New Paradigm in Political Religion? Global Right-Wing Populism as the Great Leveler

When we understand these global trends, we see that the need to successfully confront Christian Nationalism at home in America has immeasurable implications for international peace, religion and economics. There is no way of knowing if there are counter-movements like Confronting Christian Nationalism to Christian nationalism conspiracies anywhere else in the world, but even if there are such movements, there is a clear opportunity and need for Americans to take leadership on the world stage by exporting Confronting Christian Nationalism strategies freely, widely and quickly.

Christian Nationalist religious beliefs and political values are closely intertwined. It is quite easy, therefore, to identify the religious antecedents of the following values that most Christian Nationalists hold:

• Conservative Christian Beliefs
• Basic Conservative Values.
• American Values.
• Judeo-Christian Values.
• Small-town Values.
• Traditional values.
• Libertarian values.
• Values Promoted by the American Family Association
