Have you noticed the rise of packaged religious-political podcasts and programming with paywalls? Many conservative programs are adding direct religious messaging. Even ads contain religious wording. The Israel problem may be recruiting religious adherents. The administration's weird legal hierarchy--like raising suspicions about outspoken citizens at school board meetings and Latin mass Catholics--could be provoking reaction.
These stats from a recent survey are interesting.
55% of Hispanic Protestants, most of whom identify as evangelical, hold Christian nationalist beliefs. About 66% of white evangelicals hold such views — the biggest share of any group surveyed.
Among Latino Catholics, 72% said they rejected or were skeptical of Christian nationalism.
Republicans (55%) are more than twice as likely as independents (25%) and three times more likely than Democrats (16%) to say they hold Christian nationalist views, the survey found.
Intensity may be hard to measure. Analog vs. digital. But something's up.
