Religion scholar warns of white Christian nationalist political movement in US
Robert P. Jones, a religion scholar, argues in a Vox interview that the risk of white Christian nationalist political movements in the United States has intensified and warrants comparison to historical authoritarian movements.

The source characterizes this as a threat significant enough to require organized religious and secular response. Vox reporter Christian Paz frames Jones's concerns within the broader context of recent US political trends.
