Senator Josh Hawley (R., Mo.) garnered headlines earlier this month for remarks that lent his support for “Christian nationalism.” He prefaced his comments with a nuanced observation that America is a “nation defined by the dignity of the common man, as given to us in the Christian religion; a nation held together by the homely affections articulated in the Christian faith — love for God, love for family, love for neighbor, home, and country.”

Progressives went ballistic. These enemies of religion in America attack any and all references to Christianity in American society. Such blanket attacks are yet another intellectually lazy attack against their political opponents. Some are now also resorting to anti-Catholic rhetoric.
