Christian Nationalism and Heritage Americans

I am seeing more and more articles on what is an American. From Wikipedia:

Christian nationalism asserts that the United States is a country founded by and for Christians. ...

In the wake of the January 6 attack on the Capitol, the term "Christian nationalism" has become synonymous with white Christian identity politics, a belief system that asserts itself as an integral part of American identity overall.

Also:

Heritage American is a designation that became popular in American national conservatism and the MAGA movement in 2025. It is an example of loaded language ...

This is somewhat broader than:

Old Stock American (also known as Colonial Stock, Founding Stock, or Pioneer Stock) is a colloquial name for Americans who are descended from the original settlers of the Thirteen Colonies. Historically, Old Stock Americans have been mainly Protestants from Northwestern Europe whose ancestors emigrated to British America in the 17th and 18th centuries.

A WSJ article argues:

There Are No ‘Heritage Americans’

It’s a notion of national identity at odds with our history and traditions. ...

Are you a heritage American? According to a group of online weirdos who call themselves conservatives (and possibly Vice President JD Vance), probably not.

The “heritage-American” concept refers to those who can trace their ancestry back to the beginning of American history. The earlier the better.

That is not correct. The early settlers were White Anglo Saxon Protestants (WASP). By 1800 or so, the USA was a melting pot, where that term meant a mixture of WASPs with Germans, Irish, Catholics, and others from northwest Europe. This created a uniquely American ethnic identity. The heritage Americans are those belonging to that ethnic identity.

There is an American ethnic identity, and I do not know of a better term for it.

Saying that there are no heritage Americans is like saying that there are no ethnic Japanese or Italians. Of course there are. To deny it is just to express ethnic hatred.

Christian nationalists admire the USA founders who were Christians and nationalists. I don't take the term to mean advocating for a theocracy or anything like that. The founders did not want a theocracy.

Islam seeks to tightly integrate religion with government. But that is not Christian nationalism. The USA founders created a government inspired by Christianity and designed for a Christian citizenry of heritage Americans, but the government is not directly controlled by church authorities or anything like that.
