Last month, Christian nationalist pastor Douglas Wilson announced that he is establishing a church in Washington, D.C. to take advantage of the "numerous evangelicals who will be present both in and around the Trump administration."
The purpose of Wilson's new church, according to Joe Rigney, an associate pastor at Wilson's main church in Idaho, is to properly "calibrate the Christians" in and around the Trump administration according to Wilson's far-right Christian nationalist worldview.
Wilson himself put that worldview on open display during a recent appearance on "The Auron MacIntyre Show" about the importance of establishing an "American ethnos," by which Wilson meant a set of beliefs and values rooted in a shared culture, language, and history.
Within his desired "American ethnos," Wilson made it clear that non-Christians will be second-class citizens.
"Would you be comfortable with deporting people of Muslim faith in the United States knowing that its practice is fundamentally incompatible and if they have their own communities, they would ultimately never assimilate into the United States?" MacIntyre asked.
"I would recognize that that's a very severe problem that we have to solve," Wilson responded.
