Faithful America – Faithful America is the largest online community of Christians putting faith into action for love and social justice. Our members — Catholic, Protestant, Exvangelical, and more — are sick of sitting by quietly while Jesus’ message of good news is hijacked by the religious right to serve a hateful political agenda. We’re organizing the faithful to challenge Christian nationalism and white supremacy and to renew the church’s prophetic role in building a more free and just society.
Just a few of the projects they were apart of which gives us hope.
- Convinced networks to drop the televangelist Jim Bakker Show for selling a fake COVID-19 cure
- Blocked a hateful, Islamophobic Trump nominee in the Senate
- Helped free an innocent asylum seeker from ICE custody
- Helped Catholic students win justice for their fired gay principal
- Defeated a fracking pipeline with Catholic sisters in Kentucky
- Helped pass the life-saving Affordable Care Act

How to End Christian Nationalism by Amanda Tyler
Christian nationalism is a powerful and pervasive ideology, and it is becoming normalized. From Amanda Tyler, lead organizer of the Christians Against Christian Nationalism campaign, comes How to End Christian Nationalism, your vital companion for countering this dangerous ideology. Tyler draws on her experiences, conversations with pastors and laypeople, research, Scripture, her Baptist convictions, and her work as a constitutional law expert to help us confront Christian nationalist fervor.
You’ll learn how to distinguish Christian nationalism from the teachings of Jesus and to demonstrate how the former perpetuates white supremacy. This book also unpacks key truths we can share with others: Patriotism is not the same as nationalism. Religious freedom means little if it’s not for everyone. Christians follow a gospel of love, not the idol of power.
Here, you’ll find stories of what Christians are doing to resist Christian nationalism in their churches and communities, plus ideas for your own work. From strategies for faith-rooted organizing to guidance for holding hard conversations with loved ones, Tyler offers practical ways to protect faith freedom for all. With precision and compassion, Tyler offers cogent arguments for the separation of church and state, a timely call to action, and an urgent case for replacing a twisted, fearful version of faith with one that is good and right and true. We’ve all seen what Christian nationalism can do. Now is the time for Christians to reckon with its harm. Now is the time to end it.
