Stephen Wolfe is the author of The Case For Christian Nationalism, which is a fascinating read, even if you aren't a Christian.
He says that Christian nationalism is misunderstood and wrongly labelled as racist and bigoted by evangelical elites and woke media, adding that Christian nationalism is not only biblical but essential for countering secularism and strengthening communities.

Stephen makes the point that, since WWII, the US has attempted to become a global empire—an antithesis to Christian nationalism—which has inadvertently weakened, not only Christianity, but America and what it once stood for.
He also mentions that if church and state aren't united, Christians should come together by building a parallel economy. That said, however, Christian nationalism is not only the necessary alternative to secularism, but the form of government a Christian society must pursue.
One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

In other words, a Christian state governing over a culturally homogeneous Christian nation.
No, not Christian conservatism
Christian nationalism—in the United States, at least—is not the same as being a conservative Christian. If that were true, tens of millions of Americans, for example, would be Christian nationalists and the label wouldn't mean anything. Christian nationalists:
- are typically 'post-liberal' and not really 'classically liberal',
- desire some level of explicit state-established Christianity and
- want a "Christian America" by statute.
The latter point is interesting because it suggests that the church and state should not be separated.
