Concerns about Christian nationalism have gained renewed attention as public figures highlight its political and social implications.

Journalist Joy Reid and Robert P. Jones, president of the non-partisan Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), have launched a monthly video segment, Confronting White Christian Nationalism, on Reid’s YouTube series.

The first episode aired in December. Reid said the series will “push back on the people who would deport Jesus,” referring to political movements she views as misrepresenting Christian faith.

Jones cited PRRI polling showing that only three in ten Americans support Christian nationalist claims that the U.S. should be declared a Christian nation, with the strongest support among white evangelical Protestants.

The series will address issues including immigration policies and Project 2025.

The topic has also surfaced within Republican politics.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told The New York Times Magazine that the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk prompted her to re-examine her Christian faith and contributed to her decision to resign from Congress in January.

Greene criticized Donald Trump’s eulogy for Kirk, contrasting it with the forgiveness expressed by Kirk’s widow, Erika, and stating that Trump’s admission that he “hates his opponent” revealed a lack of Christian faith.

Greene said she became disillusioned with the political culture she was part of, in particular, what she described as a refusal among Trump supporters to apologize or admit mistakes.

She cited Trump’s withdrawal of his endorsement of her campaign and his characterization of her as a “traitor” as key factors in her resignation.

Greene also referenced her efforts to push Congress to release all Epstein-related Department of Justice files by December 19, which she said contributed to tension with Trump and the MAGA movement.

Greene’s resignation takes effect on January 5, a year before the end of her term.
