Christian nationalism hypocrisy in U.S. law is no longer hiding behind the pulpit. It’s marching straight into legislatures with Ten Commandments posters and a big ol' side of “moral panic.”

You’ve probably seen the headlines — bans on abortion, books, and even pronouns. All backed by people quoting the Bible like it’s a legal brief. But spoiler alert: this isn’t about faith. It’s about control.

The Bible Is Not the Constitution — But Try Telling Them That

Christian nationalists love to claim America was founded on biblical principles. Funny, since the Constitution never once mentions God, Jesus, or Leviticus.

But that hasn’t stopped lawmakers from pushing:

Abortion bans, even for rape survivors
Gender-affirming care bans, because nothing says liberty like policing hormones
Forced public prayer, unless you're the wrong religion
Book bans with LGBTQ+ characters
Legal protection for misgendering students

It’s wrapped in moral posturing, but underneath it’s just biblical authoritarianism with a bad sense of humor. We shredded the nonsense in The Bible Says What?! A Cuss-Filled Tour Through God’s Dumbest Laws.

“Christian Values”? Let’s Look at the Source Material

If lawmakers want to turn the Bible into a rulebook, let’s check the fine print:

“Slaves, obey your masters” — Ephesians 6:5
“If a man rapes a virgin, he must marry her” — Deut. 22:28–29
“Kill every man, woman, child, and animal” — 1 Samuel 15:3

Also banned? Shrimp, mixed fabrics, and women speaking in church.

That’s the righteous foundation for theocracy? Please.

Florida: The Theocracy Beta Test

In Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis helped pass the “Don’t Say Gay” law with Bible-thumping approval. The result? Queer students silenced, teachers gagged, and classrooms turned into youth group.

Meanwhile in Texas, lawmakers introduced bills forcing the Ten Commandments into every classroom (source: AP News).

This isn’t about Jesus. It’s about power. And we’ve got more where that came from in Pete Hegseth and the Rise of Christian Nationalism.

Who Gets Hurt? (Spoiler: It’s Everyone Not in Power)

Here’s what happens when Christian nationalism hypocrisy in U.S. law becomes policy:

Women forced to carry dead pregnancies
Teens cut off from life-saving healthcare
Teachers punished for acknowledging reality
Doctors threatened for following medical ethics

The Freedom From Religion Foundation is tracking over 1,000 church-state violation bills right now.

That’s not theory. That’s theocracy in motion.

And Yet… Silence

Where’s the outrage? You’d think erasing church/state separation would cause an uproar.

But instead, most media outlets whisper “Christian nationalism” like it’s Beetlejuice, and moderates beg everyone to “be civil.”

Meanwhile, the PRRI study confirms that Christian nationalism aligns with authoritarian beliefs — including support for political violence.

Still not worried? Religion Dispatches says attacks on secular education are part of a long-term plan. This isn’t a glitch. It’s the strategy.

TL;DR

Christian nationalism hypocrisy in U.S. law is not about values. It’s about enforcing control through cherry-picked scripture.

And unless you’re cool with mandatory prayer, banned books, and laws straight out of Deuteronomy, it’s time to say something. Loudly.

FAQ

What is Christian nationalism hypocrisy in U.S. law?
Using selected Bible verses to pass laws that suppress rights — while skipping the verses that demand compassion.

Is this a threat to democracy?
Absolutely. It’s theocratic rule by scripture — and you don’t get to vote on which chapter.

Isn’t the Bible about love and forgiveness?
Yes… if you skip all the violence, misogyny, and slavery bits.

Because they won’t stop until Leviticus is law — and they’ll “forget” the commandment about not bearing false witness while they're at it.

Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists

Husband and Wife are two non-believers who have always wanted to read the Bible. Why would we subject ourselves to this you might ask? From our perspective it helps us understand where the Christians around us, here in the Midwest, are coming from when they quote the Bible at us. Husband is basically an Atheist and wife leans Agnostic but mostly Atheist and we’re just having some fun at the Bible’s expense while learning more about what our neighbors claim we’re going to hell over.
