Downplaying our current problem of christian nationalism isn't a good look.
Why would anyone need to downplay a fictional problem?
It isn't fictional.

Lmao
People seeking honest discussion don't dismiss facts with "lmao".
Cool. I'm dismissing garbage
Then explain why it is garbage.
Because it's a heap of activist garbage with biased methodology pushed to create a narrative
All you are doing is adding on more adjectives. Support your claim.
I've provided just as much actual evidence as you have pal
I provided a source showing acceptance for christian nationalism is on the rise. I offered actual evidence. You haven't done anything othwr than use dismissive pejoratives.
I see you don't know what rise means. You need two data points to show a rise. You provided one.
Further looking at the study to get into the sympathizer category a person had to only agree with half the questions, or strongly agree on one and agree on another. The half of Republicans is a click bate title to rile up the morons. Another summary could say Only 21% of Republicans strongly support Christian nationalism.
And we don’t know how everyone is defining the word. Christian nationalism isn’t a common word
The study consisted of 5 questions to determine Christian nationalism. Completely agree was weighted a 1, mostly agree 0.6667, mostly disagree 0.3333, completely disagree 0. They labeled respondents an adherent if they scored a 3.75 or higher, symphothizers a 2.5 to 3.75. I wonder how many scoring methods they went through before they got the results they were after.
Those are some strange and poorly written questions.
One sounds like a buzzword.
Our laws historically are based on French, Spanish, and English laws, which, for the most part, are based on Christian values. We have calmed it down over the past twenty years, but a good example is blue laws or sodomy laws.
Those just look poorly written to me.
When you read all the questions in the study it becomes clear they were steering to a result to propagandize.
That is the problem. We are having more things tainted by politics. We can't even do simple polls without trying to force a political answer.
