Senator Kevin Cramer also said that Mike Johnson clearly expressed his intention to help Ukraine.

"He was pretty clear about it,"

Sounds positive.

Ah, I misunderstood the term then. Cheers.

Is it correct to say that all US Christian Nationalists want a theocracy and would frame laws based solely on what's in the bible? I'd expect Johnson is almost certainly one of those, but I assumed there were more moderate ones who are guided by religion wouldn't want to go full Christian Sharia. edit: Like would Biden be considered a Christian Nationalist?

I'm very fond of the US actually, having been there a decent number of times, but I haven't met any of the proper loonies you see in the press as yet.

It's a growing movement, led, as best as I can tell, by television pastors. I don't know if its fair to paint them all that way, there are probably people that would refer to themselves as a Christian Nationalist that don't have a hardline interpretation of the words, and would not try to implement biblical law.

The leaders of the movement routinely call for it though.

A useful litmus test is do they want to ban the practice of Islam and ban existing Muslims from entering the country, or not?

That's clear. I've a better understanding now. Many thanks.
