Abstract

The article 'Holy Nations: How White Racism Boosts Black Support for Christian Nationalism' examines the complex interplay between Christianity, race, and national identity in the United States. It argues that Black Americans' support for Christian nationalism is a strategic response to racial exclusion, allowing them to assert their Americanness through religious identity. The study uses a survey experiment to demonstrate that exposure to nationalist visions of America increases support for Christian nationalism among Black Christians, while decreasing it among Black non-Christians. This finding underscores the role of identity management in shaping political attitudes and challenges the assumption that Christian nationalism is uniformly driven by White supremacy. The article contributes to the broader understanding of how marginalized groups navigate and resist exclusionary national narratives, making it a compelling read for those interested in the intersection of race, religion, and politics.
