As a white boy deep in the south region of the US where evangelical Christian is the only Christianity I suggest to you, as a person who has live in this shithole, that my brothers and sisters in Great Britain nuke this shit from orbit and pour gasoline on the smoke embers. We thought this would not happen here but we let the fucking nuts congregate and feed off each other. It all started when Eisenhower let Billy Graham in the White House because, " what can a little prayer breakfast hurt?" And no one said a thing because why offend " good Christian" people. Stop it now while the chickens are still in the hen house.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
As someone raised in evangelical Christianity and fought my way out, this guy’s not fucking kidding, and neither is he being overly dramatic. I suggest you act with frightening speed and ruthless efficiency, leaving no blade of grass untouched nor smallest nook or cranny overlooked. As you act, do not waver in your fortitude, and do not for even a moment to allow yourselves to consider that you may be acting “a bit rash.” It is imperative that you cease immediately the spread of this pestilence.

Can not upvote this enough. This man speaks the truth, and reason. He is not crazy. I've had a similar experience, and if anything, I think this isn't raising the warning flag high enough for what could happen in the UK here.
Too bad there's no "new world" to ship all the fundies off to this time.
Mars?
Yeah, the Tolerance paradox, tolerate these toxic shit stains and this is how you end up
As a white boy from Idaho, I second this. We ran their first wave out in the early 00s, but the next wave trying to create a white nationalist haven was far worse than the old ones who contented themselves with cosplay Conderacy/Nazism and only left their compounds once a year for a parade. There’s no shame anymore, no edgelord “I’m a Nazi” attitude. They’ve normalized the doctrine by being average neighbors rather than radical weirdos in a bunker. They’re invading our local offices, school boards, city councils, and other minor offices. One challenged our governor (a Regan-esque pos but not total MAGA) and while he lost, still got 30% of the vote. They’re buying up our remote farming communities and turning them into ideological enclaves. They’re well educated, and many are former cops or military. Out here it’s creating a strange bedfellow situation. We’ve got urban leftists and libs, east state Mormons who are starting to recognize MAGA evangelicals aren’t their ally, and the 2A an-cap libertarians who hate the Feds. Fun times. But seriously, don’t let these people get a foot in the door at any level.
You thought it wouldn’t happen there? Pretty sure most of the rest of us knew it always had.
Oh shit. You lot need to nip these assholes in the bud.
Thats exactly what they did last time, ship all the fundy religious nuts overseas, the Massachusetts bay colony was full of religious exiles deemed too "extra" for post-reformation Europe... And look where we are now.
I wonder how harsh their stance on this foreign refugee will be
did they not learn from brexit?, no they dint.
I am SO tired of these religious fundie/extremist nutjobs.
They are only hypocrite religious. Nothing of what they are doing is even close to Jesus's core teaching "Love your neighbor as yourself." (Mark 12:31). They are giving Christians a bad reputation.
Christians gave themselves a bad reputation, then as now. Their faith never recovered from the Black Death, which finally broke the back of the church, and ended their stranglehold over almost all of Europe.
They later tried to break the peasants with their various Inquisitions, killing thousands more, but no matter how many people the Christians tortured to death, they were never able to achieve their former glory and power; they have diminished every year since.
They've lost half of their faithful in the USA over the past 20 years. PRAISE GOD
Aaaand of course its through Reform MPs. Why did I expect otherwise
How much do you want to bet they don't even go to church? I'm an atheist and I'm more christian than them
As an actual bible believing Christian, I would like to officially distance myself from all this nonsense.
Of course you would. That would keep you from having to fix it.
TBF, I don't think they can fix it any more than we can.
Religion is a business plan wrapped up in propaganda.
No, your kind should take responsibility
Bible Believing Christian? Gross.
I wish your religious leaders had years ago.

Its an export from England, not an import.
Yeah that isn't gonna work here
Yup. People don’t like religion at the best of times.
Britain has been Christian Nationalist for centuries
These cretins were kicked out of England because they tried so valiantly to tell everyone how to act as a Christian. Then, they came to the new world claiming persecution. All these butthurt babies are now gonna do a repeat. 400 years later here we are.

Didn't Christian nationalism literally come from Britain? It didn't spontaneously form from the ether in America. A bunch of brits sailed to America to slaughter native Americans because God "wanted them to", a few generations pass and then here we are. And no I'm obviously not saying it is actually this simple ("Americans = brits + time"), but the headline seems dumb to me too.
The Great Awakening, which is where most US Christian nationalism stems from, is a pretty American homegrown phenomenon not happening in any comparable way in Europe at the time.
So no, Christian nationalism did not literally come from Britain. It is capable of appearing anywhere where Christian fanatics congregate to a great extend, and they have never congregated so much as they have and are currently doing in the US.
Thank you for this response.
Color me shocked that this is happening in a state with an established church and members of the clergy sitting in the legislature.
Over a third of all parliamentarians in 2024 chose a secular oath.
Christianity is not the only non-secular group that has overt representatives sitting in the legislature.
Britain has a secular government which pays lip service to a religion.
The US has a religious government which pays lip service to secularism.
In Britain, there are currently 23 Lords Spiritual, out of 1402 legislators.
In the US there are 0 openly atheist members of congress, out of 535 legislators.
Like we need any more imported American ideas. Religion and politics needs to FO
Consider also that some US Christian Nationalists are descended from people who left Britain for freedom from the national religion.
Europe dumped all their assholes and prudes in North America, and then they're surprised that it turns to shit.
evangelicals being birthed from america, has started to interfere with african politics for quite a while too, they are behind the very harsh anti-gay laws in africa.
This is literally just their normal Islamophobia gussied up in an attempt to make it sound like something more socially acceptable. Stephen Yaxley-Lennon's already tried pretending to have been reborn in prison and is spamming his Nazi rallies with prayer. It's the Victimhood step of the fascists' playbook. "We're just simple God-fearing Christians and them there scary towel heads are coming to exterminate us!"
Do they at least call themselves "Norsefire"?
