We were honored to host a thought-provoking and insightful webinar with Dr. Bradley Onishi, co-host of the Straight White American Jesus podcast and author of the acclaimed book Preparing for War: The Extremist History of White Christian Nationalism - And What Comes Next.
In this timely webinar, Dr. Onishi explored the historical roots and contemporary manifestations of White Christian Nationalism, shedding light on its impact on the upcoming 2024 elections. From analyzing its extremist history to offering insights into future developments, along with his own personal experience growing up inside the movement, Dr. Onishi provided a comprehensive understanding of this complex phenomenon.
This event was cosponsored by Jews for a Secular Democracy, Women Confronting Racism, and the National Council of Jewish Women, Michigan. Co-moderating were Linda Levy, a Board Member of Women Confronting Racism and a State Policy Advocate for the National Council of Jewish Women, Michigan, and Paul Golin, Executive Director of the Society for Humanistic Judaism and staff lead of Jews for a Secular Democracy.

Excellent lecture and fantastic book, Dr Onishi. I checked it out at my local library in Warrior, Alabama and will be purchasing a copy for my home library collection.

I really appreciate your book, Bradley. I read it as soon as you signed it at the Humanist event in Minneapolis. The explanation of the deeper and extensive historical tentacles of this movement are much appreciated. We have work to do. Thank you.

It was interesting in my life that in Apartheid 'whites' and 'blacks' both quoted the bible. During the civil rights movement, that was the same ... the bible as the basis for hate or freedom. For those of us who are not born into the 3 Abrahamic faiths, we find the use of the bible in both ways to be a conversation about religion and that is not the same as The Global Truths.

May I suggest "Humans for Secular Democracy"? We should stand in front of our faith, not behind it. Standing behind your faith makes it vulnerable to attack. It also gives bad actors the opportunity to hide behind your faith and commit atrocities, making your faith extremely vulnerable to attack and disrepute. Respectfully, 🙏

He’s wrong. This nation was founded on Judo Christian values. I’ve never ever heard any of the other beliefs he’s saying we believe. He’s correct, Christians do believe we are in a spiritual war. Kinda funny these same people are behind Israel and the Jews in this war. I’m sure there are a very small minority that believe what he’s touting but there’s a small minority that believe in white supremacy and a small minority that believes we should install Sharia law too. There’s a small minority that believe sex with kids is natural too. But to lump all of us who want Trump over Biden for four years in with his version of Christian nationalism is wrong and destructive. It would be like lumping all Muslims in with the Taliban’s beliefs. He is no Christian! Maybe he should study the Bible like we do in our home. From page to page. I don’t know a single Christian that feels like he says we do. Not one person I know thinks we need to sacrifice democratic voting. This man is evil. My definition of a Christian nationist is we believe in Christian values and keep everything but the basics out of our schools. And put the United States first, then help other countries.

@@bonniespeck These are NOT a small minority. And they ARE dangerous (to a Democratic republic). I know many of them. They don't want a democracy, they WANT a dictator. Also it's cosmic -- they consider themselves at the end times, battling the spirits and demons that are manifested in the current "non-believers."

Name a single Jewish "radical" organization based in the USA which is responsible for a single act of violence. I would wait - but you'll find exactly zero. Christian Nationalism on the other hand is the leading cause of domestic terrorism right now and has been for nearly a decade.

I don't suppose it's worth mentioning that the single largest religious nation on earth is Israel, and seeing nothing other than this screen, I think it's fair to assume "jews for ..." will not be talking about removing faith there.

Of course not. But liberal cosmopolitan American Jews will surely lecture everyone else about "diversity" and secular culture because they are not the majority. Historically they have been states within states without assimilating then gain power working with each other across national boundaries then complain when they have been attacked. Then they start a nation based on their religion to the exclusion of the "others." Hypocrites always.

An Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics survey published in 2021 found that among Israeli Jews over the age of 20, about 45% identified as secular or not religious, while 33% said they practiced “traditional” religious worship. Ultra-Orthodox Jews, known as Haredim in Hebrew, made up 10%.

The Great Global Truths 1. We are ALL one humanity. We all blink, cough, and can tighten our muscles. Any woman can get pregnant by any man. Any child can be brought up in any culture, religion, language, part of the world. We use Distorted Mind Beliefs to deny and suppress this Truth and see ‘Us’ and ‘Other’. 2. We are ALL born naked. Every Woman knows this. We are made to feel shame or unsafe due to Distorted Mind Beliefs and denied the Truth 3. We are ALL born equal because the sun shines on each of us. Distorted Mind Beliefs deny and suppress this Truth. 4. We ALL live on one planet shared with the Commons (Waters, Airs, Soils), All Species and Each Others. We use Distorted Mind Beliefs as a reason to kill one another, The Commons and Species.

Live commenting as I watch this...The United States is, in fact, a judeo-christian nation. What is controversial about this?

It's not. My family has lived here since Plymouth Rock, they have been almost exclusively Christian people, and I can tell you 100% this is not strictly a Christian nation. A strictly "Judeo Christian nation" would be a theocracy, not a democracy. Every person in America has the right to believe whatever they want - including all non-Christian philosophies and value systems. However we all agree to abide by the same laws. My grandfather was a deist, similar to Thomas Jefferson and the early founders. They believed in "god" or the divine, but not specific to the Christian God. This is why they reference "the creator" and not Jesus Christ in the founding documents. I could go on and on. But you are not likely to be convinced by reason.

Also since you didn't bother watching the video - Judeo-Christian is horrific term. Jews and Christians are distinct groups with distinct history and beliefs. It is borderline antisemetic but certainly very ignorant.

Here's the controversy... You're asserting this is a Judeo-Christian nation based solely on the religious affiliations of the founders. By doing so, you're presuming to speak for dead men who already made their intentions quite clear. You have to understand... many Christian denominations (be they Catholic, Baptist, Anglican, Quaker... etc. etc.) were at odds with one another at that time; it's well understood that many people (or the generations before them) had come to America due to religious persecution abroad. Upon Thomas Jeffersons epitaph, he cites his three proudest achievements; one of those three is the Statue of Virginia for Religious Freedom. Please read it in full. That document is both a long form explanation and precursor for everything regarding religion (the free-exercise and establishment clauses) in Amendment 1 of our Bill of Rights. We're a secular nation founded by predominately white men of various Christian faiths. To say otherwise is foolish, ignorant, and frankly dangerous.

​@@willsparklinVery well said. My grandfather made a point to take me to the Jefferson memorial in DC and pointed out various quotes. Most of then concerned his very nuanced and sometimes conflicted opinion about religion. However the separation of church and state was very clearly the most important aspect of the constitution to him, even though he had a deep connection to divinity - of his own choosing.

@willsparklin I never said that the US and it's founders wanted a Christian theocracy. I am saying that the West is a Judeo-Christian, and mostly Christian civilization. No serious scholar would disagree with this. Jefferson et al whether they were Christians or not is beside the point. They all come from a Christian civilization & culture with beliefs that originated in Christianity.
