Christian nationalism is a form of religious nationalism that focuses on promoting the Christian views of its followers, in order to achieve prominence or dominance in political and social life.[1][2] It seeks to establish an exclusivist version of Christianity as the dominant moral and cultural order.[3] In countries with a state church, Christian nationalists seek to preserve the status of a Christian state.[4]

There's an image that captures the threat posed by the White Christian nationalist movement " and how it could become even more dangerous over the next four years.
Taken during the Jan. 6 insurrection, the photo shows a solitary White man, his head pressed in prayer against a massive wooden cross, facing the domed US Capitol building. An American flag stands like a sentinel on a flagpole beside the Capitol under an ominously gray sky.
The photograph depicts a foot soldier in an insurgent religious movement trying to storm the halls of American power. What's unsettling about the photo four years later is that much of the religious zeal that fed the insurrection is no longer outside the gates of power. Many of that movement's followers are now on the inside, because their Chosen One, Donald Trump, returns this month to the Oval Office.
BJ's hilarious self-unaware comments aside, here is probably the leading bible scholar today, from Oxford, at a gathering of 2000 church leaders in Oregon a few days ago, teaching the Western Church what the Eastern Church has long known about actual Christianity.
There aren't a lot of short answers to the most important questions in any field, so save these and next time you want to know what Christianity is actually all about, check them out... or any of his other shorter clips answering various questions on YT or at AskNTWrightAnything.

Primer... much of what people have believed about Christianity in the bible was sifted through first Plato in the early church with the concept of a 'soul that goes to Heaven' which isn't in the bible, and then Epicurus for all kinds of further misnomers, not to mention Medieval superstitions .
In example, the word translated as 'soul' is in the original Hebrew, 'life energy', not the person and personality itself. And it doesn't 'go off to Heaven' somewhere, it becomes part of God's New Creation as God returns to Earth... a resurrected human being, as was Jesus, being our destiny, not becoming Casper the Friendly Ghost in Space.
As Christians pray without understanding, "your Kingdom come (to Earth) your will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven'. The End Times culminate with God as King on Earth not somewhere else.
And Jesus taking 1000 years to teach mankind how to rule justly, as we obviously need a lesson in that.
