Abstract

That white evangelicals form the political foundation of Trumpism is widely taken for granted. A contrary interpretation focuses on Christian nationalism: the view that the United States is, and should remain, a predominantly white Christian nation. Drawing on analysis of religious nationalisms in India and South Africa, this essay suggests how Christian nationalism can be seen as part of a contradictory hegemonic project, intimately linked with US imperialism and racial capitalism. The essay also reflects on the political challenges of the present moment.
