Sample Book Insights:

#1 The Freedom Sunday service at First Baptist Church, Dallas, was attended by thousands. But not everyone was happy about the billboards advertising the event, which quoted pastor Robert Jeffress as saying, America is a Christian nation.

#2 Americans hold a variety of orientations toward the intertwining of Christianity and American civil society. While most Americans do not support Christian nationalist ideology, a significant number of them oppose it strongly.

#3 The four categories we use to describe Americans who express Christian nationalist views are meant to be a shorthand. Each is highly predictive of different views on social and political issues, but no system of categorization can perfectly capture the diversity of Americans’ views on this subject.

#4 There are four groups in the study: Rejecters, who do not believe there should be any connection between Christianity and politics; Ambassadors, who believe that there should be a connection; Accommodators, who believe that there should be a connection but want to keep it subtle; and Resisters, who believe that there should be no connection between Christianity and politics.
