Opinion: They don't seem to understand that we can have a United States of America or we can have a Christian nationalist nation but, according to our Constitution, we can't have both.

At first hardly anyone took notice of the Christian nationalist “Pine Tree” flag that was on display on the second floor lobby of the Arizona State Capitol in January.
Versions of that same flag appeared alongside the stars and bars flags of the Confederacy, large crucifixation crosses and Trump banners during the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
The flag at the Arizona Capitol finally got a little attention after the good folks at Secular AZ pointed it out in a blog post.
The group’s legal director wrote a letter to House Speaker Rusty Bowers saying in part, “This flag alienates both those committed to a proper separation of church and state, and those concerned about religiously inspired violent attacks on our democracy and our public officials.”
