| Résumé: | Christian nationalism is a political ideology and cultural framework advocating for the fusion of a particular form of Christianity with a county's civic life and political institutions and for the privileging of Christianity in the public realm. Accordingly, in its pursuit of political power at the expense of democratic rules and norms and in its repudiation of religious diversity and different ways of thinking, Christian nationalism constitutes a serious threat to democracy. Much of the research on the political and social implications of Christian nationalism focuses on the United States. Yet Christian nationalism is not solely an American phenomenon. This brief essay argues that Christian nationalism, in various forms, is a global phenomenon and an important but underappreciated ingredient in the recent decline of democracy occurring around the world. |
