America’s Christian nationalists have a new plan for advancing their legislative goals in state capitols across the country. Its stated aim is to promote “religious freedom.” Not shy, they call it “Project Blitz.”

“Blitz” accurately describes the spirit of the enterprise, but the mission has little to do with what most Americans would call religious freedom. This is just the latest attempt by religious extremists to use the coercive powers of government to secure a privileged position in society for their version of Christianity.

The idea behind Project Blitz is to overwhelm state legislatures with bills based on centrally manufactured legislation. “It’s kind of like whack-a-mole for the other side; it’ll drive ‘em crazy that they’ll have to divide their resources out in opposing this,” David Barton, the Christian nationalist historian and one of four members of Project Blitz’s “steering team,” said in a conference call with state legislators from around the country that was later made public.

According to research provided by Americans United for Separation of Church and State, more than 70 bills before state legislatures appear to be based on Project Blitz templates or have similar objectives. Some of the bills are progressing rapidly. An Oklahoma measure, which has passed the legislature and is awaiting the governor’s signature, allows adoption and foster care agencies to discriminate on the basis of their own religious beliefs. Others, such as a Minnesota bill that would allow public schools to post “In God We Trust” signs on their walls, have provoked hostile debates in local and national media, which is in many cases the point of the exercise.

“ ‘Project Blitz’ Seeks to Do for Christian Nationalism What ALEC Does for Big Business,” reads the headline of a recent piece Frederick Clarkson wrote for Religion Dispatches that highlighted the danger. ALEC, of course, is the corporate lobbying group that crafts and promotes model legislation advancing business interests.

In their guidebook for state legislators and other allies, the authors of the Project Blitz program have grouped their model legislation into three categories, according to anticipated difficulty of passage. The first category consists of symbolic gestures, like resolutions to emblazon the motto “In God We Trust” on as many moving objects as possible (like, say, police cars).

Peep how white evangelicals are defending Trump. Peep how they ignore his criminality and racism.
Peep how Jeff Sessions is using the Bible to justify seperating immigrant families at the border and putting them in internment camp.
Peep how Trump endorsed Roy Moore and ignored his pedophilia and the fact he claimed America was great under slavery by highlighting the fact he is a "religious man".
Peep how there is a clear divide between the Black and White Church in America under Trump.


Make no mistake this is rebranded American white supremacy under a new name that abets "god and country" to support discrimination and bigotry.

I made sure to discuss this with the black churchgoing populace of this board because I used to go when I was younger. But I know for a fact black christians are NOT messing with Trump or his open bigotry and oppression.

Trump is not a man of God at all and the furthest thing from it.

I tried warning people years ago but of course I was ridiculed and ostracized for telling people what was going on .

America has always been this way.

The KKK was regarded in the beginning as a "christian organization". Still not considered or registered as a terrorist organization. Trump has defunded efforts towards domestic terrorism and diverted those funds elsewhere. The KKK openely supported him.

Nothing is new under the sun in this country.

Ive been peeping game. Christian Naturalism is another term that Ive been hearing, like Christian Science is just another term for white supremacy beneath the surface.

I just know whatever happens, I ain't going down without a fight.

Yep.

American Christianity has always been this way. Trump just provided us with a better lens to view it through.

Christian radio stations, tv channels, and universities are just vehicles to push white nationalist propaganda.

Andrew Womack, for instance, says some heinous shyt about black people, but I got some dumb ass relatives that still listen to him.

They too far gone with the indoctrination.

To address your thread concerns.
The Black Christian community has always been segregated. Not until the 1990s did they slightly mingle.

Churches are most segregated places in America. Trust me.

Black churches fundamentally do things differently especially in the south. They are like mixing oil and water together.

 

[BaggerofTea]

What's even scarier is people thinking this a new phenomenon. In fact it was actually worse 20 years ago

 

[I Really Mean It]

When people say "America has always been this way," they ignore that there are gradations to everything, degrees to which something can be applied and concentrated. A frog in boiling water was always in water before the unbearable heat began searing its skin off.

I believe it.
The black church moves differently from white ones.
I used to go to a white church with my family in my younger years. I stopped going. I saw through the BS they were pushing. The black church brought about so many civil rights leaders for a real reason. There's a reason people like MLK came from it. Everything he warned us against years ago is happening now.

White evangelicals blindly support white supremacy and militarism as "god's law", big government, invasion of privacy, and support bigortry and intolerance. The black christians always been calling it out.
