Abstract

V originále

This article is devoted to Christian nationalism in the United States with regard to its historical development, modern form, and potential security threats. Primarily aims at providing the Czech and European security communities with essential knowledge about this topic that has become closely associated with the Trump administration in recent years. Besides a theoretical discussion, it describes two prominent nationalistic congregations. Moreover, to increase the authenticity of presented facts, readers are provided with transcribed church services of three American pastors. In its conclusion, the article suggests why Christian nationalism constitutes a relevant security issue for American democracy.
