I can't seem to recall where I read this, but there was an essay by Haidt or some other social psychologist a while back that I thought made a pretty compelling case for moral self-licensing being an especial problem in the Evangelical community. This isn't the same thing as Evangelicals "being less moral", of course, but it's something to consider.

Also he has no clear cut definition of a "Christian Nationalist", he says something about "follow the Great Commission, not the Great Commandment", which is an utterly LAUGHABLE false dichotomy and also would include liberal Christians as well. If a church has any type of outreach programs, and accepts and baptizes new members, then it's a Christian Nationalist one per this definition.

I noticed this as well. I'm not sure why I didn't remark on it back before the thread was bumped. It's utterly absurd. I have it on good (albeit anecdotal) authority that there is a serious problem with the segment of NCOs and junior commissioned officers who are conservative Evangelicals being very conservative Evangelicals indeed (particularly in the Air Force and the Marine Corps, even though those branches aren't especially similar sociopolitically otherwise), but if this is representative of their messaging then I'm not convinced of their ability to get the danger here across to the general public--a common problem among people who are trying to get the country to take January 6 and the subcultures that incubated it seriously.
