Not interested in Christian Nationalism.

It's the enemy as much as the rest of us are.

8. They are part of the 7 Mountain ideology. Mitt Romney used to talk about it.

That is absolutely about Christian Nationalism. But evangelicals hate Mormons so this is always a possibility.

Maga.

All extremely right wing. They abandoned the Boy Scouts for being woke for God sakes.

6. Some Italian guy by the name of Moroni did it. He spilled marinara sauce on himself and was eaten alive.

We 100% non-Barbarian Italians (unlike the rest of Europe that we Romans conquered).

My wife is one of those Barbarians. I had to jump over Hadrian's Wall to grab her drag her back to the civilized territory of Britannia and Londonium.

I married her in the Roman state of Novus Mexiconius, LIII years ago.

churches throughout the West, including the fairly new (2016) temple in Fort Collins, Colorado--the largest outside of Salt Lake City and the region.

But, damn... school shootings upset me more--sorry...

I think he tried to replicate the massacre of the Lidice villagers in retribution for the death of Heydrich.

But.... he got it wrong. The nazis rounded the women and children of Oradour-sur-Glane into the church and burned it, not Lidice where the men were shot and women and children sent to concentration camps.

Bloody magats fail again.

16. Sectarian violence in the U.S. is now a real thing again.

I think Mr. trump wants to see the Orange Riots (no pun intended, but ironic nevertheless, given Tammany Hall was a genesis of the trump method of governing) covered live by CNN with as much violence and hatred as possible. Mr. trump calls that a satisfying dessert to finish after another bucket of friend chickening out.

We can't call them pastors and ministers for much longer. We'll have to defer to the more accurate 'clerics' we previously reserved only for non-American religions.
