It's not a huge thing right now but the Christian Nationalist movement is making waves in various parts of the United States. There is an awaking to the fact that we no longer live in our founders White, Christian nation. We can't take for granted that Americans are going to make ethical choices regardless of their stated religious preferences because liberalism and multi-culturalism preclude moral standards.
So, if we are going to have a decent society Christians have to be the ones in charge of setting the standards again. And the establishment doesn't like that. There is immense pushback in the wider evangelical community. The "christian leaders" want everyone to keep going to church on Sunday, voting red every 4 years, and call it good.
If you recognize how far the current American "church" has fallen from Biblical standards, you get called all sorts of names (including sexist, racist, homophobic, and anti-semitic. All the greatest hits). If you start advocating for policies that follow Biblical standards of justice you get told you're trying to use the Bible to amass political power and earthly riches. If you question the undying loyalty to the state of Israel, you're told that you aren't a real Christian.
They are trying to stomp out the embers and I pray that they continue to catch.
