A coalition of progressive evangelical leaders has released a new open letter sharply criticizing the administration of Donald Trump, accusing it of fostering what they describe as a dangerous rise in “white Christian nationalism.”
The statement, signed by hundreds of clergy members and religious activists, represents the latest example of a growing divide within American Christianity over politics, culture, and the role of faith in public life.

In recent years, liberal commentators and many Democratic politicians have frequently used the term “Christian nationalism” to describe the political activism of socially conservative Christians. The phrase has become a lightning rod in the broader culture war, with critics claiming it reflects an attempt to fuse Christianity with American nationalism.

The new letter echoes those criticisms and directs them squarely at Trump’s second-term agenda.
