Zusammenfassung:Laser discusses the concept of church-state separation and its implications for power, equality, and religious freedom. She highlights the efforts of primarily white, far-right Christians to use the machinery of the state to impose their views on others. She reflects on their hesitation to use the terms "White Christian Nationalism" and "Christian Nationalism" and instead leans towards using "religious extremism" due to concerns about alienating Christians and the potential for defensive reactions. However, they ultimately conclude that "White Christian Nationalism" is often the most accurate term to use.
