JD Vance Wants More Than a Christian Nation: He Wants a Christian Civilization [View all]
Jun 23, 2026 #JDVance #ChristianNationalism #ReligionAndPolitics
JD Vance's new book, Communion, offers one of the clearest windows yet into the worldview of the vice president of the United States. In this episode of the Axis Daily Brief, Brad Onishi examines Vance's arguments about Christianity, American identity, cultural cohesion, immigration, family formation, and the future of Western civilization.
Drawing on Vance's own words, Brad explores how Communion reflects a vision that goes beyond traditional Religious Right politics and toward a form of Christian nationalism rooted in ideas of civilization, hierarchy, and cultural conformity. Along the way, he discusses the history of Catholic postliberalism, Christian nationalism, religious pluralism, and why Vance's vision raises important questions about democracy, religious freedom, and political power.
