It often overlaps with white supremacy and racial subjugation.

UCC PORTLAND rejects Christian nationalism and invites Christian individuals to join them in opposing this threat to their faith and nation. They believe that people of all faiths and none have the right to engage constructively in the public square, and that patriotism doesn't require minimizing religious convictions. They advocate for religious pluralism, where government does not favor one religion over another or religion over nonreligion.

UCC PORTLAND condemns Christian nationalism, particularly when it inspires violence and intimidation against religious communities. They emphasize that all faiths are equal under the U. S.
