Christian nationalism is being portrayed as a right-wing boogeyman by left-wing pundits in an attempt to tie Christianity and conservatism to violence and racism, according to conservatives.

Anti-Christian rhetoric has increased in mainstream media outlets based on the perceived threat of Christian nationalism, a manufactured term from the Left used against conservatives, according to Carol Swain, a commentator on politics and author of several books such as “Be the People: A Call to Reclaim America’s Faith and Promise.”
