"Instead of a prayer breakfast, it was a political branding exercise with hymnals.
The question hanging over the waffles and amens is unavoidable: What does it say about American Christianity that so many of its leaders are willing to call this 'faith'?"

"White Christian nationalism ... is a mix, a blend of tech bro feudalism, techno feudalism, which is where these tech CEOs want to rule the country, and this theobro feudalism,feudalism, where these theobros want to have a white Christian nationalist country. ...
MAGA is a religion. It's not a political ideology. It's a religious ideology."

"Notice they always go to Christian and not Jesus. They're not believers in anything Jesus said. In fact, in many of their churches, you can't quote Jesus because he's too woke for them. But this sort of Christian nationalist, techno feudalist, small number of Uber CEO men that will run the country, it's a problem."

"That's the white Christian nationalist aspect of it. With the Technobros and Curtis Yarvin, they believe democracy is incompatible with capitalism. As such, you need a type of techno-feudal system, a techno-fascism, where the council of these brilliant white men will choose their puppet leader."

"And they will create these perfect cities in Greenland and other places, not making this up. And then, of course, what ties together other folks and ties together all these people is white supremacy. That's what ties together Russell Vought. That's what ties together Stephen Miller. That's what ties together Elon Musk. At the end of the day, power must be in the hands of the white man."

"The sin and stain of racism within white Christian nationalism is but another piece of rotten fruit from a long-diseased tree. It is in this history that we see how white supremacy is—and always has been—intimately intertwined with idolizing power, fear, and violence in the calls to make the United States a Christian nation."
