Chris Kuhlmann and Shaun Griffin continue their discussion (series) on Christian Nationalism. In Part 1 they played subject matter audio clips by Wretched Radio and Christians Against Christian Nationalism to give the listener a taste of how the topic has been addressed in public since January 6, 2021. In Part 2, they review two articles, the first from Christianity Today which addresses the issue pretty well considering how broadly it is applied and misapplied; the second, the Wikipedia entry for the term.

What is Christian Nationalism? Christianity Today
https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2021/february-web-only/what-is-christian-nationalism.html
For the sake of time, the two hosts read key sections of this lengthy and well-written article and discuss.
The two hosts then read and discuss the very different approach the Wikipedia article takes.
Wikipedia Article

Christian nationalism is Christianity-affiliated religious nationalism.[1] Christian nationalists primarily focus on internal politics, such as passing laws that reflect their view of Christianity and its role in political and social life. In countries with a state Church, Christian nationalists, in seeking to preserve the status of a Christian state, uphold an antidisestablishmentarian position.[2][3][4] Christian nationalists have emphasized a recovery of territory in which Christianity formerly flourished, historically to establish a Pan-Christian state out of the countries within Christendom.[5][6]
They actively promote religious (Christian) discourses in various fields of social life, from politics and history, to culture and science; with respect to legislation for example, Christian nationalists advocate blue laws.[7] Christian nationalists have encouraged evangelism, as well as for families to have more children as a means of increasing the Christian population growth (cf. Quiverfull).[8][9] Christian nationalists support the presence of Christian symbols and statuary in the public square, as well as state patronage for the display of religion, such as school prayer and the exhibition of nativity scenes during Christmastide or the Christian Cross on Good Friday.[10][11]
Christian nationalists draw support from the broader Christian right.[12] Christian nationalistic movements often have complex leadership structures, depending on the nature of their relationship with local Church institutions. Some movements are lay oriented, with symbolic clerical participation and indirect support from local Church structures, while others are led or strongly influenced by local clergy. The involvement of clergy in various Christian nationalistic movements since the 19th century has led to the development of particular forms of Christian nationalism which are known as clerical nationalism (otherwise known as clero-nationalism or clerico-nationalism).[13] Christian nationalists have often cooperated across denominational lines, fostering a spirit of ecumenism in order to advance certain objectives.[14]
