America . . . Christian From the Get Go | Doug Wilson

I am not saying this in order to score any cute points. I am in deadly earnest. The American version of the Westminster Confession is certainly a modification of the original Westminster, that much is granted. But that modification was made in 1788, in Philadelphia, and in the clear light of all the foregoing it was not a downgrade from hard establishment to any secularist “smudge, blur and scribble.” The American Westminster is a clear expression of the soft establishment principle, of the very kind that this Christian nationalist (as in, me) is advocating and arguing for. This is it. Every minister who subscribes to the American Westminster, and who has not taken an exception on the point, is in principle a Christian nationalist. They are bound by their confession to Christian nationalism—if in fact soft establishment is Christian nationalism. So the alternative for them is stark. Either start embracing the term Christian nationalism, or stop calling me one.
