    The study consisted of 5 questions to determine Christian nationalism. Completely agree was weighted a 1, mostly agree 0.6667, mostly disagree 0.3333, completely disagree 0. They labeled respondents an adherent if they scored a 3.75 or higher, symphothizers a 2.5 to 3.75. I wonder how many scoring methods they went through before they got the results they were after.

    • The U.S. government should declare America a Christian nation.
    • U.S. laws should be based on Christian values.
    • If the U.S. moves away from our Christian foundations, we will not have a country anymore.
    • Being Christian is an important part of being truly American.
    • God has called Christians to exercise dominion over all areas of American society.

      Those are some strange and poorly written questions.

      One sounds like a buzzword.

      Our laws historically are based on French, Spanish, and English laws, which, for the most part, are based on Christian values. We have calmed it down over the past twenty years, but a good example is blue laws or sodomy laws.

      Those just look poorly written to me.

        When you read all the questions in the study it becomes clear they were steering to a result to propagandize.

          That is the problem. We are having more things tainted by politics. We can’t even do simple polls without trying to force a political answer.
