As the concept of Christian nationalism continues to gain traction among conservatives, former President Donald Trump said that Americans should kneel to God alone.
A clip of Trump making the comment was posted on his Truth Social account.
We will never back down and we will never give up. The tyrants we are fighting do not stand a chance if we are confident. We kneel to God and God alone.

The remark came as Christian nationalism and some of its ideologies have spread among the GOP. Reports from The New York Times, The New Yorker, and CNN show that Christian nationalism is on the rise.
Christian nationalism is the belief that the American nation is defined by Christianity and that the government should take active steps to keep it that way. The US should remain a Christian nation, according to Christian nationalists.
Christianity should have aprivileged position in the public square because they believe in freedom of religion.
CNN reported on Sunday that Christian nationalists use theology to justify sexism and racism in order to achieve an ideal White Christian America. According to the report, these ideas are becoming more and more common in churches.
The insurrection by Trump supporters in the Capitol on January 6, 2021, was seen by some as a Christian revolt.
Republican lawmakers have recently promoted the concept and some of its ideas.
The Georgia Republican who attended the Turning Point USA event identified herself as a Christian nationalist in an interview this weekend and said that Republicans need to represent their voters instead of lobbyists.
"We need to be the party of nationalism, and I'm a Christian, and I say it proudly, we should be Christian nationalists," he said.
Insider's questions about how she defines the concept were not immediately responded to.
Lauren Boebert of Colorado said recently that the church should be in charge of the government.
She stated last month that the government is not supposed to direct the church. Our founding fathers did not intend that. I'm tired of the separation of church and state that isn't in the constitution.
Some Republicans have pushed back on Boebert's comments, including Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who compared Boebert's comments to the Taliban.
