New Data: Most Republicans Now Hold a Favorable View of Christian Nationalism

Quotes by Robert P. Jones (?)

“It's nothing short of astonishing that a religious tradition with this relentless emphasis on salvation and one so hyperattuned to personal sin can simultaneously maintain such blindness to social sins swirling about it, such as slavery and race-based segregation and bigotry.”
― Robert P. Jones, White Too Long: The Legacy of White Supremacy in American Christianity

“But if we white Christians are going to get any critical leverage on our past, and the distortions this past has brought into our present, we have to let go of both the quest for self-protection—that is to say, the advantages we hoard at unjust costs to others—and the insistence on our racial and religious innocence.”
― Robert P. Jones, White Too Long: The Legacy of White Supremacy in American Christianity

“In other words, the Confederate monument phenomenon was no innocent movement to memorialize the dead; it was primarily a twentieth-century declaration of Lost Cause values designed to vindicate white supremacy and bolster white power against black claims to equality and justice. These Confederate monuments, strategically placed in public spaces, are deposits left by the high tide of white supremacy.”
― Robert P. Jones, White Too Long: The Legacy of White Supremacy in American Christianity
