[Music]
F24:
they call themselves God's soldiers, fighting to save the soul of America,
their weapon the Bible. These Christian nationalists believe their religion
should Define US laws and set the country back on track.
Woman:
if you Vote Democrat, I don't even want you around this church. You can get out.
You can get out, you demon.
F24:
for Donald Trump they might even help him return to the White House.
Woman:
President Trump is the man that will bring righteousness, the rule of law, and
the Judeo Christian values to our civilization.
!!!!!
“It's okay to call me a Christian Nationalist because I believe in country and I believe in the Bible, okay. So how can you be wrong with that?”
!!!!!!!!!!
F24:
Many stormed the capital in January and could have a drastic impact on American
democracy. Many people Hannah Salesbury and Roxy Cruz are devout Christians, and
they do more than just praying.
One
wants more Bibles in public schools. The other is a pro-life activist.
Another
woman: it's going out into the abortion clinics and it's praying Heaven down
and saying oh Jesus let these people know that that life is precious and not to
abort it but to embrace it. Then you go into the schools and you take Bibles. We
have to go back to God and the Bible. We have to follow by God's commands. We have
to fear God.
F24:
Both women believe that the line between the church and the state should
dissolve and the devil has taken our ground.
In
Virginia this group of Christians have been given permission to gather in a
government building. Their message is clear. America will be doomed if the
population doesn't respect the Bible.
Man: Every measure of a healthy Society has been in freefall in America skyrocketing addiction pornography crime divorce.
[CLIP OF TRUMP AD] God looked down on his planned paradise and said I need a caretaker. So God gave us Trump.
!!!
“If you are talking about spiritual warfare all the time, it's a very small jump to get to actual Warfare.”
!!!!!!!!!!
F24: Don Blake is one of the event organizers. He believes that church should guide politics and made a comparison with France.
Blake:
Now I think the French people have missed a boat the last years by turning away
from God, and government needs to be influenced by the biblical worldview,
people, because God set up government. Yeah that's okay to call me a Christian Nationalist
because I believe in the country and I believe in in the in the Bible, okay. So
how can you be wrong with that?
F24:
For many Christian Nationalists, Donald Trump is a hero. In an unofficial ad,
the Republican candidate is compared to the Messiah.
[CLIP
OF TRUMP AD]
God
looked down on his planned paradise and said I need a caretaker. So God gave us
Trump, a popularity that Trump is eager to maintain. They try and shame us us.
I'm a very proud Christian.

OF CLIP ]
F24:
Actually Donald Trump also relies on preachers to Rally his Evangelical base,
like [SOUNDS LIKE] Jackson Lawmayer, founder of pastors for Trump. At this
Gathering, he's invited a special guest.
[CLIP]
Pastor:
absolutely will you all stand to your feet and welcome Mayor Rudy Giuloiani.
F24:
Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump's former lawyer. Officially pastors are not allowed
to tell people who to vote for but Jackson Lawmyer has found another way to
influence voters.
[CLIP]
You
could Target them one by one, cost you a lot of money, take a lot of time. Or you
could go and you could influence pastors to encourage their churches to
register to vote, to vote their value system.
And
if Christians vote their value system, they will vote for Donald Trump.
[END
CLIP]
F24: According to religious experts, radical Christian nationalism is on the rise. If you are talking about spiritual warfare all the time, it's a very small jump to get to actual Warfare. Will we see more threats to uh poll workers to candidates to uh our democracy as a whole about a third of Americans say they support Christian nationalism and they could sway the upcoming election in November.
