A study recently published in Sociology of Religion explores the moral values behind support for and opposition to Christian nationalism.

Christian nationalism is the belief that the United States was founded as a Christian nation and has a divine mission to uphold Christian identity, values, and traditions.

The findings show loyalty and sanctity are key motivators for supporters, while fairness drives opposition.

The study’s cross-sectional design makes it difficult to establish causation, leaving open questions about whether moral foundations influence support for Christian nationalism.

The study, “ The Moral Foundations of Christian Nationalism ,” was authored by Kerby Goff , Eric Silver , and John Iceland .

Goff hopes to expand the research on the moral dimension of orientations towards religion and the state.
