Major Christian leaders asked Jan. 6 committee to investigate Christian nationalism
WASHINGTON (RNS) — A group of prominent Christian leaders, including the heads of major denominations, say they submitted a letter earlier this year to the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, urging members to examine Christian nationalism and arguing the ideology played a crucial role in the insurrection.
Organizers of the letter, which has not previously been disclosed, told Religion News Service they were approached by a committee investigator on the topic. The resulting statement, dated June 2, was facilitated by Christians Against Christian Nationalism, an effort orchestrated by the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty.
“The ideology of Christian nationalism helped motivate and intensify the insurrection,” the letter reads in part. “We ask the Committee to thoroughly investigate the role that Christian nationalism played in the attack. This investigation into Christian nationalism is important so that history does not repeat itself and so that we understand this threat to our country’s historic commitment to religious liberty and the importance of defeating it.”
Representatives for the House committee did not immediately respond to requests to confirm the faith leaders’ account of why the letter was drafted, or to clarify whether the committee pursued their request and investigated Christian nationalism specifically.

None of that makes sense; calling false flag here; plus it’s unconstitutional to even look into it, as there is no remedy as a group.

I am a lifelong Baptist and I have NEVER heard of the "Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty"
If they were really Baptists for Religious Liberty, then they would be FOR Christian Nationalists, because they would have the liberty to be such

This is like the 50 Intelligence agents saying Hunter’s laptop is Russian disinformation.

When I lived in Vermont, leftist activists would pick the most official sounding names they could come up with for their ragtag gathering of smelly hippies and bored homeless guys.

Not sure why anyone is surprised seeing as how there is a certain book out there that told us about false prophets.

And the NRA asked them to start a mandatory buy-back program.

This sounds like a hostage letter.
There was no insurrection. Not even remotely close.
And Trump is hardly a bible thumper. Good grief, this is such gaslighting BS.

From their Wiki page:
quote:So this organization SIDED WITH THE STATE AGAINST THE BAKERY!!
Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission centred around a bakery owner's refusal to make a cake for the wedding reception of a same-sex couple based on his religious beliefs, despite a state law requiring that businesses open to the public not refuse service due to LGBT status. The BJC filed a brief on behalf of the state of Colorado, explaining that laws like this one — cover discrimination against “disability, race, [religion], colour, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, or ancestry”— protect religious liberty. Granting a broad exemption for this baker would open the door for other business owners to refuse service to customers in other protected categories based on the business owner's religious beliefs. For example, another commercial baker could use these same arguments to refuse to create a cake for an interfaith couple, an interracial couple or a couple where one had been previously divorced.[8]

Commies make up groups and organizations all of the time.
A town with 5 commies will develop a dozen organizations.
