I agree. I am a White Christian and to see so many White Evangelicals fawning over Trump was literally sick and disgusting. It tarnished the image of the church and was pure evil and an embarrassment. Lots of black evangelicals acted the same too.
The thing is: A good portion of Hispanics are White or White-leaning and Bi-Racial Black/White people mixing with White people will just produce more White people in the long run(See: Halsey and Meghan Markle's child.)
And the Black population is stagnant and Asian immigration outside of India and Pakistan has slowed down over the years.
The whole hysteria that America won't be majority White that both Leftists and White Nationalists alike seem to be obsessed with(albeit for different reasons) is pure fantasy.
Now, the Christian argument is slightly different because Blacks and Hispanics have a higher percentage of devout Christians than Whites on average and stats have shown this. In fact, a Pew Research report showed a report that a higher % of Black people agreed with bakeries not baking cakes for Gay/Lesbian weddings for religious reasons than White people.
Young White people are pretty damn secular. Maybe not as secular as their European counterparts but getting there. Hell, my girlfriend(White) considers herself a Christian and she regularly drinks, smokes pot, curses, etc. But she's still close with her church and knows the Bible so there's that.
All and all, this whole "demographic change" in the USA is pure hysteria. It started to get purported a lot back in the late 2000's/early 2010's when illegal immigration was a hotter topic than it was today and Arizona passed the controversial SB 1070 law. But the data seems to suggest that America will remain majority White, especially when more White Hispanics get accepted as regular White people and Bi-Racials start to marry into the White community more.
Do you realize how ridiculous you sound?
Do you have a skin color chart of acceptance or something?
The violence you advocate/predict is utterly detached from what Americans experience. We are celebrating the reopening of our nation after a terrible pandemic. We are moving forward with a new administration and people are optimistic.
You may be optimistic, but people in general are extremely pessimistic. The government is destroying wealth and the means of production of wealth at a staggering rate. The government is destroying the future.
and yet, if you were well-intentioned enough to read, you would see that "White Christian" is already not a majority, as you clearly typed.
But you do you.
Nonsense. They are the majority.
That said, if we’re talking about REAL Christians who actually live it, then you’re right. That’s probably no more than 2%-3% of all white Americans. And I’m probably overestimating THAT number by 50%.
They need dragons to slay. If they can't find any, they'll create them out of thin air.
I'd say a dragon that wants to overthrow democracy and replace it with a fascist theocracy is a dragon that any patriot should want to slay.

When radical Islam owns half the country's politicians or the black church tries to take political power with the purpose of making homosexuality a crime, then we'll talk.
White Evangelicals have gone from 37% of the Republican Party in 2006 to 29% currently.
White Evangelicals make up 22% of those over 65 but only 7% of those between 18 and 29.
The median age for White Evangelicals is 56, making it the oldest of the religious groupings surveyed.

The religious makeup of Democrats generally resembles that of younger Americans
ages 18–29, who are 27% white Christian, 26% Christian of color, 7% another religion, and 36% unaffiliated, and ages 30–49, who are 40% white Christian, 32% Christian of color, 4% another religion, and 23% unaffiliated. The Republican breakdown is more akin to groups of Americans over age 65, who are 59% white Christian, 20% Christian of color, 4% another religion, and 14% unaffiliated. Notably, no age group is as white and Christian as Republicans.
Your post was premised on skin color; stopped reading there.
The racist P R O J E C T I O N from the the sinister side is....creepy.
The OP's precise post from the start intended to spark discussion and debate from inception.
He linked to a post that directly tries to shame Conservatives for being against CRT.
In response, I brought up a compelling argument against the whole notion that America is no longer going to be majority White anytime soon and how Leftists and David Duke types just use that as hysteria for their respective causes.
I also brought up how, if Christianity dies down in the U.S., it would more than likely be a result of the new generation of White kids abandoning Christianity just like in many parts of Western Europe, as opposed to a Latin American influx.
My post served its purpose in presenting an argument against Brandon Tensley's(who wrote the CNN article) obsession with America being demographically changed and no longer majority White/Christian.
I had no other purpose but to make Brandon Tensley look like a moron by countering one of his main arguments. It's not me that's "premised on skin color"(wrong context of the word but that's besides the point). It's the guy who wrote the article in the 1st place which this whole topic is centering around.
