Machen cares not for your Christian Nationalism:

"For example, there is the problem of the immigrants; great populations have found a place in our country; they do not speak our language or know our customs; and we do not know what to do with them. We have attacked them by… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Make no mistake—any religion adopted an enforced by the government will first serve the government and will become secular. See: Europe, all of it.

Christian nationalism led to liberal unbelief in the early 20th century and it would do something similar in the 21st.
In part because it would require the worst form of ecumenism.
Christian Nationalism is not just Christians who are nationalists/concerned with things national/nationists or those who support traditional "Christian" morality. The thoughtleaders of Christian Nationalism would execute heretics and establish a generic Christian church...

Drive through any town or city in the US and notice how many older churches have blacked out their windows for the benefit of screens and stage lighting. Many newer churches have windowless worship spaces for the same reason. The reasons behind this are doctrinal.
It's not obvious from the outside, but this church is a windowless worship dungeon. The interior walls and floors have even been darkened—totally dependent on artificial light—and there's barely sufficient light to read the printed word if you are not on the stage.
Many small-town and rural churches try to replicate the megachurch experience at a much smaller scale. It's good for the A/V equipment companies...but is it good for anyone else? Imagine having a young child in a church that passes out earplugs.

How many minutes does it take you to get to church, whether you walk, cycle, drive, or use public transport?
One reason for asking—the 17th-c. Massachusetts puritans (who were totally nuts in a number of ways) who wanted everyone to live within a half mile of the meetinghouse.
With traffic in some areas you could live a mile away these days and it take 10-15 minutes to drive there...and it might be unsafe to walk that distance in pedestrian-unfriendly areas.

"What is lost when presbyterian worship is no longer led by presbyters (elders)? Well, in a word, what is lost is presbyterianism, or—at the very least—any form of presbyterianism known before the 20th century. Presbyters are not simply preachers and teachers or members of an...
"administrative board. They are shepherds who lead the flock in worship, not as coordinators, directors, or curators of the order of worship, but as true leaders who lead from the front…the front of the church’s worship space!
"Why is it important that ordained, examined, approved men lead worship? Because in many of the word-based elements of worship the leader is speaking, as it were, for God. How God’s word is read and the biblical and theological understanding of the reader/leader matter."

Rural America is likely to become even more of a confessional presbyterian and Reformed wasteland unless pastors/planters are willing to be bi-vocational or serve multiple churches. Many of those baptist, pentecostal, and even UMC churches don't have full-time pastors.
Circuit riders and tentmakers may be required. Are P&R folk too good for that? Are we satisfied being the gifted and talented program for evangelicals who read, a place for upwardly-mobile baptists, a group of denominations almost exclusively for affluent suburbs and cities?
This is not to argue for a Cumberland Presbyterian-style abandonment of requirements for educated ministry, but it might argue for more distributed, local education at a much lower price. And it certainly argues for more resources to small towns and rural areas.
