Christian nationalism provides a good example of a movement that purports to represent a vulnerable majority and also of the dangers of such a movement to liberal democracy. First, it does not represent a majority. On several measures Christian nationalism and personal religiosity correlate inversely rather than directly. Second, self-identified Christian conservative Paul Miller incisively critiques Christian nationalism as an effort to protect the majority cultural identity as a way of maintaining cultural power. Finally, although Miller advocates for cultural neutrality, I question his interpretation of it because it too easily elides into a type of majority rights.

Advancing an Unjust Neutrality: Christian Nationalism as a Majority Right

  • Emily R. Gill

摘要

Christian nationalism provides a good example of a movement that purports to represent a vulnerable majority and also of the dangers of such a movement to liberal democracy. First, it does not represent a majority. On several measures Christian nationalism and personal religiosity correlate inversely rather than directly. Second, self-identified Christian conservative Paul Miller incisively critiques Christian nationalism as an effort to protect the majority cultural identity as a way of maintaining cultural power. Finally, although Miller advocates for cultural neutrality, I question his interpretation of it because it too easily elides into a type of majority rights.
