On Friday, NBC News published an opinion piece that mocked white Christians in America, saying that their anxiety over losing dominance in America has “created a nostalgia for the past that has fueled support for Trump’s ‘Make America Great Again’ agenda.”

Robert P. Jones, the founder of PRRI (Public Religion Research Institute) and the author of “The End of White Christian America,” is about to launch his new book, titled, “White Too Long: The Legacy of White Supremacy in American Christianity. He wrote on the NBC News website in a piece titled, “White Christian America ended in the 2010s,” “Of all the changes to identity and belonging, the century’s second decade has been particularly marked by a religious sea change. After more than two centuries of white Anglo-Saxon Protestant dominance, the United States has moved from being a majority-white Christian nation to one with no single racial and religious majority.”
