Christian Nationalism, Hindu-Phobia, and the MAGA Cult: The Vance Controversy Unmasked

by

Vance controversy, Christian Nationalism divides, bus metaphor, 2025

Where Faith Meets Power — America’s messy experiment with personal faith and politics has hit new heights with Christian Nationalism leading the parade into MAGA territory. Nowhere has this become more obvious—or more unsettling—than after the J.D. Vance controversy, where MAGA, Trump Cult Syndrome (TCS), and Hindu-phobia seem joined at the hip, and Christian Nationalism stands unmasked as the MAIN agenda.

Christian Nationalism, once a whispered motive at the margins, now dominates the MAGA brand — shaping the rhetoric, the support, and the push for exclusion dressed up as patriotism.

Abrahamic Religions and New York City

by

Zohran Mamdani appears to have won the New York City Democratic Mayoral Primary, pending ranked-choice voting tabulation expected by July 1. Mamdani’s lead is considered substantial.

Right-wing news outlets and blogosphere are upset, with some claiming, “America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles.” One blog commenter responded to me, stating:

Islam is incompatible with western civilization.

My original post had been:

New York City has been a disaster for decades. Ran by Jews and/or Christians during the whole time. Personally, I don’t believe a Muslim could run it any worse.

The Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—seem locked in an endless struggle over who “owns” God. Anthropomorphism aside, it’s likely that “God” doesn’t possess human traits, which is probably a good thing for humanity.

Islam – Religion of Peace

This was originally published on 7/4/2008 at an old blog. Original is HERE.

Had been updated over the years…

It was difficult to copy here – one reason was that I use Squoosh to reduce pic size, and not all the formatting came out the same.

Haven’t checked the links to see if they still work, but may try tomorrow. Some work – some don’t.

Many more humans have been brutally murdered in the name of Islam since 2008.

Christianity

by

This is from 12/12/2007. Haven’t gone thru it yet, but have noticed that some links no longer work, and may do something similar to the Abrahamic Religions page editing.

Still, this is very long, and some of the links are so broken that they now direct to totally irrelevant sites that are not remotely connected to original link. Am just not going to spend a lot of time fixing such links…possibly.

(NOTE: see Abrahamic Religions post for more info…)

 

 

Christianity is one of the three religions that are categorized under the term Abrahamic Religion, with Judaism and Islam being the other two. Christianity is the largest religion (ranked by adherents worldwide), Islam is the second largest, and Judaism is the twelfth largest. All three of these religions claim Abraham as a part of their sacred history. All three of these religions claim that their religious scriptures were “given to them by God.” All three of these religions, with a few exceptions, fall under religions that teach or practice Exclusivism (“Exclusive Principle”), e.g. that only their religion leads to “God and salvation.” With their common connection to Abraham, one might wonder why these Abrahamic Religions can’t get along with each other.
