Understanding Christian Nationalism and the Fault Lines of the 2024 Election | Hofstra University

HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF RELIGION and the HOFSTRA CULTURAL CENTER present: Annual Lecture in Critical Spiritualities “Understanding Christian Nationalism and the Fault Lines of the 2024 Election” Dr. Robert P. Jones, Ph.D. President and Founder of the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) in conversation with Dr. Julie Byrne. One of the more important factors in this 2024 election year is the phenomenon of Christian nationalism. What is Christian nationalism? Where are its roots in American history, and how is it connected to racial identity? How is it showing up in electoral politics now? For Religion’s signature lecture this year, we welcome Dr. Robert P. Jones, an expert and national media voice on this topic, to discuss Christian nationalism with our campus community. Dr. Jones is an author and sociologist of religion who developed innovative polls to measure attitudes related to religion, race, and politics, as seen in his book White Too Long: The Legacy of White Supremacy in American Christianity (2020), which received a 2021 American Book Award. His most recent book is The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy and the Path to a Shared American Future (2023), which became an instant New York Times bestseller. The evening’s conversation will help us understand Christian nationalism and other religion-related topics in this election cycle, such as reproductive rights, anti-LGBTIQ activism, new state laws requiring public schools to post the Ten Commandments or prohibiting teaching about slavery and racism, and anti-immigrant sentiment. #christiannationalism #religion #elections2024 #hofstra
