Evangelicals’ use of morality in the nineteenth century forged the pathway by which racism and white supremacy became part and parcel of evangelical history, informing how they interpreted scripture, how they constructed a public and nationalistic vision for America, and how they used morality to both convert and oppress African Americans in slavery and in freedom.

Evangelicals tend to impugn those who have been killed by law enforcement as lawbreakers... only 13% of white Evangelical support the Black Lives Matter movement, while 76% are inclined to say "all lives matter." By placing the blame on victims rather than perpetrators, evangelicals couple an idealized vision of law enforcement with scriptural admonitions.

Graham's take on the linked fate of citizens, government, and nation held the seeds of a nationalistic Christianity, predicated on Christian morals and beliefs as the cornerstone and foundation of the nation, despite the fact that the founders wanted religious freedom for people of all faiths.

For evangelicals, “Christian race,” America, and belief are synonymous. Christianity is whiteness as well as belief… [and] causes evangelicals to ignore their racism. They truly believe that their Christianity is a race, and this comprises an all-encompassing identity. That is why when some evangelicals say they don’t see color, they really mean it. They just see whiteness. No color but the dominant one.
