Meet The Christians Pushing Back On Christian Nationalism : 1A The ideology of Christian nationalism holds that the United States should be closer to and informed by Christian principles. It's been more present in American politics lately, being referenced openly by elected officials and candidates alike.

We talk to three Christians who are making it their job to push back against this movement from a religious point of view.
