What Christian Nationalism Looked Like in Practice
Listen & Read
Christian Nationalism is a term that has gained attention in recent years due to its impact on politics and society. A research paper titled 'The ingroup love and outgroup hate of Christian Nationalism' dives into the practical implications of this ideology. The study explores how Christian nationalism influences the implementation of the rule of law, specifically in terms of discriminatory enforcement.
The authors of the research paper found that Christian nationalism is associated with preferential treatment of the ingroup (Christians) and denigration of outgroups (non-Christians). This phenomenon is driven by two separate mechanisms: Christian nationalism fuels ingroup love, while the belief in Christian persecution triggers outgroup hate. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial to fully grasp the public face of Christian nationalism and its potential to influence extremist politics.
Another study discussed the psychometric properties of the Christian Nationalism Scale. This scale measures a preference for a religiously conservative political regime. The paper raises concerns about the limitations of the scale in accurately capturing Christian nationalist attitudes on a numerical scale. Researchers emphasize the need for caution when using this particular scale in studying Christian nationalism.
Examining the impact of Christian nationalism on Americans' views on civil rights, another paper reveals interesting insights. This ideology significantly influences how individuals prioritize and perceive rights, with a strong correlation to preferences for certain rights over others. Christian nationalism aligns with supporting rights that uphold existing power structures and social order while being less receptive to rights associated with challenging them.
Overall, these studies shed light on what Christian Nationalism looks like in practice. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the mechanisms behind this ideology and its implications for law enforcemen
基督教國家主義是一個近年來引起關注的術語，因為它對政治和社會產生了影響。一篇名為《基督教國家主義的內部愛與外部仇恨》的研究論文探討了這一意識形態的實踐影響。該研究探討了基督教國家主義如何影響法治的實施，特別是在歧視執法方面。
研究論文的作者發現，基督教國家主義與內部群體（基督徒）的優待和外部群體（非基督徒）的貶低有關。這一現象由兩個單獨的機制驅動：基督教國家主義助長內部群體的愛，而對基督徒受迫害的信念觸發外部群體的仇恨。了解這些機制對充分把握基督教國家主義的公開形象以及其影響激進政治的潛力至關重要。
另一項研究討論了《基督教國家主義量表》的心理測量特性。該量表衡量對宗教保守政權的偏好。該論文提出了有關該量表在準確捕捉基督教國家主義態度的數值尺度方面的局限性的擔憂。研究人員強調在研究基督教國家主義時使用該特定量表時需要小心。
一篇研究檢驗了基督教國家主義對美國人對公民權利觀點的影響，揭示了有趣的見解。這一意識形態顯著影響個人如何優先考慮和感知權利，並與對某些權利優先考慮的偏好之間存在著很强的相關性。基督教國家主義與支持維護現有權力結構和社會秩序的權利相一致，同時對與挑戰它們相關的權利的接受程度較低。
總的來說，這些研究闡明了基督教國家主義在實踐中的樣子。它強調了理解這種意識形態背後的機制以及其對執法、政治態度和對公民權利觀點的影響的重要性。隨著基督教國家主義的影響繼續在塑造談話和政策，對其實際影響的更深入了解變得日益重要。
