This MUST READ article is from @kathsstewart,
author of "The Power Worshippers: Inside the
Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism".
2/ “Seven Mountains Dominionism” is a heartbeat away from everything that happens in the Republican Party. This year, in fact, the Road to Majority featured a breakout session titled “The Seven Mountains of Influence.”
3/ “You got to put on the full armor of God,” said Florida Governor Ron #DeSantis, alluding to a passage from Ephesians that’s often used to invoke a “spiritual war” against the devil. “You got to take a stand, take a stand against the Left’s schemes.”
4/ "the real victims of the January 6th event were the good people who ransacked the Capitol...“Any Republican that has not spoken in defense of the January 6th people to me is dead. They’re dead.”
5/ final aspect of today’s Christian nationalism that deserves more attention than it gets is the role of extreme money in shaping the movement. The Ziklag Group, which is affiliated with United in Purpose, is defined "as a net worth of at least $25 million.”
