But he acknowledged that he would like to outlaw Muslim calls to prayer and, if possible, ban Islam itself, along with Buddhism, Hinduism and “other pagan religions.” He wants to treat abortion as murder and would deny the morning-after pill to rape victims.

He would also outlaw same-sex marriage and criminalize some sexual acts between consenting adults of the same sex.

“I just kinda boiled the two words down to a ‘Christian’ — I am that, I will not deny Christ — and I am a nationalist. I am an America-first, Tennessee-first person. So I didn’t think that was a detrimental term,” Fritts said, explaining his use of the term Christian nationalist.

      Yeah, I think I first heard it from someone that had just converted to Baptist from being raised Catholic.

      I grew up in an extremely WASP-y area, and I would almost always hear that Catholics were not “true” xtians, but hearing them called “pagan” was…wild.

      But honestly, I think a lot of xtians use the term “pagan” to mean anything that is not their chosen lifestyle’s brand of xtianity.
