Summary
Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory has energized Christian nationalist leaders who view his win as a mandate from God.
Figures on the far-right, including leaders of the New Apostolic Reformation—a movement advocating “Christian dominionism,” or Christian rule over government and society—celebrated Trump’s win as a divine reformation of America.
Prominent evangelical figures like Lance Wallnau, Sean Feucht, and Charlie Kirk invoked religious language, seeing Trump’s presidency as part of God’s plan.
Trump’s victory reinforces the belief that he is a vessel for God’s will, further fueling the ascendant Christian nationalist movement in the US.
I think perhaps you don’t know your fellow Christians as well as you think. These types have been Christianity since the 80s.
No, these types have been the Christians making news since the 80s. There are plenty of actual Christians who actually read the Bible and know what it says, over the maniacs who just say they’re Christian because they grew up in the south. Just look at the split of the Methodist church for exactly how many churches have quietly been teaching true Christianity for decades. The extremists were loud and embarrassed the church and so the church cut them out.
I’m a member of the Satanic Temple, but true Christians still exist. They’re just vastly outnumbered by people who use the Old Testament as an excuse to hate others.
