The performative display of Christian identity, language, or symbolism—often for social, political, or cultural advantage—without sincere belief, spiritual conviction, or alignment with core Christian values.

Fugelsang said it a lot more succinctly. But in my small sample I've introduced the term Christopretensism to they all instantly understood what it meant. I'd love to get people everywhere to refer to it by that.

Calling it Christian Nationalism (or Christian anything) confuses people into thinking it's just another Christian denomination.
