Secular Koranism is superior to Christian nationalism because it affirms the First Amendment.
Hello James Lindsay
This is in response to your video Two Wolves of Christian Nationalism.
My thesis is that Christianity is idolatry and blasphemy offensive to God if He exists and certainly offensive to Truth, Logic and Morality.
The Noahide laws forbidding and punishing idolatry and blasphemy come into conflict with the First Amendment.

The punishment for idolatry and blasphemy is death for Jews, according to the Torah.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_capital_crimes_in_the_Torah
History would tell you that when Jews and Christians took their religion seriously, they enjoyed no freedom of belief.
The Koran is the only divine revelation from the Abrahamic God - there are only two ie the Torah and the Koran - that confers the human right of freedom of belief to humanity.
What do you think Thomas Jefferson is saying to 21st century Americans with the Jefferson Bible? The Jefferson Bible is basically the Red Letter edition Bible.

"Take out the non-Jesus parts of the New Testament and you will be left with zilch, because Sermon on the Mount - the supposed distillation of Christian wisdom - is essentially moronic. Do the same thing to the Koran ie remove all the stories and threats and promises of God and you will still have the Commandments of Allah which, when made into legislation, your citizens could obey."
Islam has a track record of 1400 years while Christianity was always meant to fail, allowed by the Abrahamic God if He exists to acquire three global Christian empires so that when its absurdity, idolatry and blasphemy are finally revealed to the world, Islam can just move into its moral vacuum.
Any Christian theologian would tell you that the Trinity is both morally and intellectually indefensible through his actions by refusing to debate theology with any rabbi or Islamic scholar.
When asked how Christianity is not idolatry, they would respond "It is not idolatry to worship Jesus if he is indeed God."
They will disengage before you ask the logical next question: What is the authority for the proposition that Jesus is God?
The best they can do is point to the Athanasian Creed which is arrant nonsense Christians used to memorise to pretend that they believed in the Trinity.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athanasian_Creed
If they questioned the Trinity, they would be burned at the stake, as Michael Servetus was at the behest of John Calvin.

Why was John Calvin so influential? Because he said usury could be practised by Christians.

When Americans finally acknowledge the Islamic basis of their republic, WW3 might perhaps be averted.
It is now up to Americans to ask each other whether they need an official religion.
The pursuit of happiness at the expense of others and at each other's expense has been their unofficial religion.
The problem of not having an official religion is easily solved by having an official religion, but it cannot be Christianity because that would be unAmerican, bearing in mind how much trouble the Founding Fathers took to quarantine the virus of the church from their state.
Were Christianity to become the official religion of America, this would be fatal to the liberties of Americans and the project of the Founding Fathers: to decisively reject Christianity and absolute monarchy.
James Madison:
"The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe with blood for centuries."
The age of monarchy has come and gone. China has abandoned it. Monarchy served neither Jews nor Muslims well. The Ancient Kingdom of Israel declined after the death of Solomon. As for the Caliphs of Islam, Muslims made the fatal error of treating Caliphs as kings giving their sons the right to inherit their father's leadership position.
The Romans founded their republic as a people who hated kings but betrayed their founding principles when they became a people who worshiped their deceased emperors.
Monarchy is a form of conceptual idolatry which harmed both Muslims and non-Muslims who practised it.
Conceptual idolatry is hidden idolatry and its feature is being unprincipled ie not following moral and religious principles giving irrational and irrelevant reasons for not so doing.
What reasons are there for maintaining the institution of monarchy when there is no use for it? The reasons can only be emotional. Sentimental reasons of childhood memories when monarchists used to believe in fairy tales of once upon a time must be the operating reason why any adult would want to keep the institution of monarchy going. It is conceptual idolatry since monarchy is just another layer of parasitism on the productive parts of society working in tandem with an already corrupt priesthood.
It is probable most people claiming to be Jews, Christians and Muslims do not really believe that God exists to punish idolatry and blasphemy in this life or the next. This explains why Christians exhibit indifference when accused of idolatry. If they believed God exists to punish them for their idolatry and blasphemy, they would be horrified and mortified.We can only conclude that they only pretend to be Christian since claiming membership of a religious group automatically gives one a higher moral status to that of being an atheist and nihilist assumed to be prepared to cheat, steal, murder and rape or make false accusations of rape if no God exists to punish the liar, thief, sex offender and murderer in this life or the next.
Jews if they really thought of themselves as God's Chosen People would be prepared to martyr themselves to tell Christians what they thought of the idolatry and blasphemy of Christians worshiping a deceased Jew executed for blasphemy if they really believed God exists to punish evil and reward good in the afterlife.
Muslims show surprising indifference to not having obeyed quran.com/18/4 in God knows how many centuries of not a single Caliph asking the Pope and Archbishop of Canterbury how and why Christianity is not idolatry and how Jesus is God. It seems the conceptual idol these probably fake Muslims worship is fear of their idolatrous and blasphemous Christian overlords which they have been explicitly and specifically commanded by God to admonish.

It cannot be denied that a meritocratic republic would have a bigger pool of political talent to choose from than a monarchy limited by a royal family or competing royal families eg during the time of the Wars of the Roses, which was a civil war.

Whatever you think of China, it is a country more likely to practise the orderly transition of power than any Western liberal democracy. If Xi Jinping were to fall under a bus, the next President of China would be produced within 24 hours. Under the Biden Administration, an incapacitated or deceased sitting President would produce a President Harris and widespread rebellion.
Let non-Christians be in no doubt about the truly dark intentions of these "Christian nationalists" of the Dissident Right with their knight crusader imagery.
Virtually all of them are ignorant of theology and care little for it. They only want to the return to the "good old days" when Christians crusaded in the Levant slaughtering Jews and Muslims at will.

" ... in the temple and the porch of Solomon, men rode in blood up to their knees and bridle reins. Indeed it was a just and splendid judgement of God that this place should be filled with the blood of unbelievers since it had suffered so long from their blasphemies.”
If you are neither Jewish nor Muslim you will still be in their sights if you are LGBT or feminist. Old Testament punishments are undeniably harsher than those in the Koran which only affirms the principle of the death penalty where the interests of justice require it.

Contrary to popular opinion, theocracy would be logical and wise if it is based on the best available guide to humanity ie the Koran. Is it not telling that even the most rabid Islamophobe cannot propose a better guide to humanity than the Koran because he literally cannot think of a better guide?
The irrefutable benefit of a theocracy is that it favours neither the rich nor the poor, neither the old nor the young, neither men nor women, neither the proletariat nor the bourgeoisie and is neither Capitalism nor Communism. Secular Koranism is literally the ultimate in Third Position thinking because it will be perceived by reasonable people of any race or religion who want to become and remain married parents properly parenting their legitimate offspring to be fair enough.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Position
As for those who do not think it is fair enough, they would be unmarriageable non-parent anti-natalists or the unmarried parents of illegitimate offspring.Their views can and should be ignored once the patriarchy is restored.
Jewish theology is Jewish philosophy. Jewish philosophy is based on the belief that suffering is punishment for sin, and sin is disobedience to God's laws. Once this belief is internalised, correction becomes easier to accept and more quickly made, for the benefit of all concerned.
