Friend,

Last week, we sent our supporters a survey about the rising threat of white Christian nationalism – the belief that America is and must remain a Christian nation, and that our laws and policies must reflect this inaccurate premise. The data we collected will be so valuable in our efforts to educate the public.

We’re still crunching the numbers, but here’s a big-picture takeaway that I can share with you already: The overwhelming majority of AU supporters agree that white Christian nationalism is a serious problem, and politicians who further that agenda are a threat to church-state separation.

Americans United is committed to exposing and defeating Christian nationalism, but we can’t meet this enormous challenge alone. To fight against the rising threat of white Christian nationalism, please click here to support AU’s work now.

We're not alone in our concerns – America is waking up to the rising threat this movement poses to our democracy. The tragic events of January 6th were impossible to ignore, as were the telltale symbols of Christian nationalism: signs calling on Jesus, religious T-shirts, flags and props… TV news crews and the rioters’ own social media posts caught it all.

The media and academic researchers have dug deeply into the connections between Christian nationalists, white supremacists and the most dedicated Trump supporters, and the evidence is irrefutable.

Americans United has been working to expose and thwart the agenda of this movement for years. Fueled by former President Trump’s reckless rhetoric, it has escalated to an unprecedented and dangerous level.

Defeating white Christian nationalism and protecting the separation of religion and government from those who would destroy our nation and our Constitution will be an enormous challenge.

Everything we do is fueled by individual members like you, and this urgent work is no exception. To support AU, please click here to donate now.

If you’re with us at this perilous moment, then I’m confident that religious freedom and secular government will win out in the end. Together, we can restore and protect the separation of religion and government in America.

With gratitude,
