      One pt about this is it is close to restatement,in shared identity terms rather than cultural values terms,of Amy Wax's notorious op-ed from last year (http://www2.philly.com/philly/opinion/commentary/paying-the-price-for-breakdown-of-the-countrys-bourgeois-culture-20170809.html … )-I'm interested to see if stressing "Biblical" rather than "Bourgeois" values lets Hazony off the hook.https://twitter.com/yhazony/status/1057933839388033024 …

      American nationalism isn’t about race—but it isn’t just “an idea” either. Here’s an alternative view of what a nation is and can be. http://time.com/5431089/trump-white-nationalism-bible/ …

      Bourgeois values are far more universal and more universally accessible, desired, and achievable by all peoples than Biblical monotheistic values, though I love 'em (the latter) to death. @yhazony

      Could be true. But the Bible contributes values such as tradition, procreation, and nation that are only tangentially “bourgeois” if at all. I suspect that bourgeois-ness just isn’t enough.

      Yoram, is American inclusiveness inherently destabilizing? Religion, as you note, helped bind America together, but mass immigration helped end America’s self-conception as a Christian nation.https://twitter.com/dpinsen/status/813972631787622405?s=21 …

      I'm not sure it was immigration. America saw itself explicitly as a "Christian people" through World War II. After the war, it seems like this had already ended. The war, not immigration, seems like it was the proximate cause. But the story's unclear to me.

      If only America had seen itself as a Christian people!

      Christianity - evangelical, in particular - seems like the only belief system congruent with a majority-minority America. But it seems that most of the folks advocating for a minority white America are hostile to Christianity.

      Three out of the four big tribes in the country - conservative whites, blacks, Hispanics - are highly religious. It's interesting how we are locked into a culture largely defined by the fourth one

      Yes, I am convinced that without the need for tactical electoral coalitions, America would be far more likely to be defined by its Christianity
