Underpinning so much of American evangelicalism is the belief that God really loves America the most (only possibly tied with Israel). So it’s okay if we are first. The irony is not lost on me that Christian Nationalism worships the same man who humbled himself and refused to accept power in favor of helping individuals. A man who often chose people over beliefs, like healing on the Sabbath, to the dismay of some religious leaders of his day.
