The Georgia Chapter of Christians Against Christian Nationalism is a grassroots organization affiliated with the parent organization which was formed by the Baptist joint Commission on Religious Liberty. We seek to bring together individuals of faith and no faith who collectively reject the exploitation of religion for political purposes. Our mission is to advocate for justice, equity, inclusion and the separation of church and state, fostering a society where freedom of belief is respected and preserved.
At Christians Against Christian Nationalism, we believe Christians bear a special responsibility both to draw awareness to Christian nationalism’s gross distortion of the Christian faith and to work to explain its threat to democracy. But this job belongs to all of us, Christians and non-Christians. You do not have to be a Christian to combat Christian nationalism or to work with us, but we as Christians know that we have an important duty to root it out of our country, our congregations and ourselves.
Statement
As Christians, our faith teaches us everyone is created in God's image and commands us to love one another. As Americans, we value our system of government and the good that can be accomplished in our constitutional democracy. Today, we are concerned about a persistent threat to both our religious communities and our democracy - Christian nationalism.
Christian nationalsim seeks to merge Christian and American identities, distorting both the Christian faith and America's constitutional democracy. Christian nationalism demands Christianity be priviledged by the State and implies that to be a good American, one must be Christian. It often overlaps with and provides cover for white supremacy and racial subjugation. We reject this damaging political ideology and invite our fellow Christians to join us in opposing this threat to our faith and to our nation.
