Southern Baptist Leader: The Left Invented Christian Nationalism In Order To “Suppress Patriotic Beliefs”

The Christian Post reports:

In a wide-ranging interview, Dr. Richard Land, executive editor of The Christian Post, urged American Christians, regardless of their political persuasion, not to allow the Left to define how they see the United States.

According to Land, the Left-leaning American media invented the hot-button phrase “Christian nationalism” as a pejorative term that serves to undermine the fundamental relationship between Christians and this nation as defined in the U.S. Constitution.

“I’m not a Christian nationalist,” Land said. “I’ve read about some, but I don’t know any. I think it is a tactic by the Left and their toadies in the media to suppress patriotic beliefs and to suppress the idea that America is a unique country,” added Land.
