A Christian cross is held outside the Supreme Court on Capitol Hill in Washington in July 2020. A new poll shows more than a quarter of Americans qualify as Christian nationalists.A new survey finds that fewer than a third of Americans qualify as Christian nationalists, and of those, two-thirds define themselves as white evangelicals.
Majorities of white mainline Protestants, Catholics, Jews, members of other non-Christian faiths and unaffiliated Americans, on the other hand, reject or mostly reject Christian nationalism. Avowed Christian nationalists also tend to be older, with about 6 in 10 Christian nationalists and their sympathizers over age 50, the survey said. They are also far less educated than other Americans. Only 18% of Christian nationalism supporters have a four-year college degree, compared with 36% of those who were labeled skeptics and and 48% of Christian nationalism rejecters.
Most Americans said they preferred a country made up of a diversity of faiths and not just Christianity.More than half of Republicans now identify as Christian nationalist or sympathizers, the survey concludes. Some members of Congress, notably Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, proudly endorse the label. Former President Donald Trump called himself a nationalist, and the survey finds Christian nationalists have far more favorable views of Trump than the general population.
Those who identify as Christian nationalists overwhelmingly trust far-right news outlets such as One America News Network, Newsmax or Fox to deliver their news.
