"Religious nationalists who abuse Christian faith have always had a major vulnerability. They want to use Christianity, but its Christ inconveniently contradicts the spirit and the agenda of their political movement. They have a Jesus problem. ...

The problem with religious nationalism is that it tries to use Jesus as a cloak, but its leaders cannot have it both ways."

~ William J. Barber II and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove

"If they claim Jesus, they must also criticize, challenge, and end the use of ICE violence to traumatize immigrants in ways that have proven to be divisive, deadly, anti‑democratic, and deeply immoral. Jesus said, 'I was a stranger and you welcomed me.' If you reject the immigrant, you reject Jesus. ...

It is heresy cloaked in the title of 'Christian,' while its actions are far from the ethos of Jesus."
