  • The petition was signed by over 12,000 people.

  • The petition says that Christian nationalism is unpatriotic.

  • He has advocated for the Republican party to be a Christian nationalist.

A faith based organization has gathered more than 12,000 signatures against Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's embrace of Christian nationalism.

Faithful America, an online Christian community that works towards promoting progressive ideas and social justice, launched an online petition on Thursday condemning the perspective of faith and politics of one of its members.

As of Sunday, the petition had reached over 12,000 signatures. It is not a religion, but a political ideology that combines Christian and American identities and proclaims that democracy does not matter because only conservative Christians are true Americans.

He advocated for the Republican party to be a Christian nationalist.

"We need to be the party of nationalism and I'm a Christian, and I say it proudly, we should be Christian nationalists," he stated.

Christianity Today defines Christian nationalism as the belief that the American nation is defined by Christianity and that the government should take active steps to keep it that way.

The congressman likened the comments to those of the American Taliban.

There is nothing different between the two. The Christian Taliban must not be supported by us. I said this as a Christian.

The Georgia lawmaker was slammed by an Oregon minister for pushing Christian nationalism in her political comments.

The minister said that Jesus was for all the world. You should beware of false teachers. The devil is dancing with her.

The petition by Faithful America charged the Christian nationalists with worshiping the false idols of power with the ultimate goal of seizing all authority for themselves and those like them.

Faithful America said that Rep. Greene has shown herself to be an antisemitic white supremacist who opposed religious freedom for everyone but herself.
