The separation of church & state is becoming a thing of the past. Particularly with our new radical, theocratic SCOTUS (anyone catch Alito's comments yesterday? Yikes!)
Christianity and Nationalism are both concepts that can be forces for good when practiced at their most positive level. But that's not the case. Christianity in some circles has become toxic, political and intolerant. Nationalism has veered toward xenophobia, arrogance and bigotry.
But with SCOTUS and a growing # of politicians who are no longer hiding their desire for a theocracy, Americans need to start paying attention, and make decisions about what they want the future to look like. We know what theocracies look like - from history, and the present day. For citizens who are non-believers, or simply not in line w/ the beliefs of the rulers, life can be pretty rough in those systems.
If we don't get involved, America is a gonna look a whole lot different in a few years.
