A Fearsome Judgment

Doug Wilson is a far-right Christian nationalist pastor and political activist. Notorious for publishing a book downplaying the evils of slavery, Wilson promotes extreme political positions: he opposes women having the right to vote, believes that non-Christians should not be allowed to hold public office or worship in public, and wants to see the Apostles’ Creed incorporated into the U.S. Constitution. Wilson is based in Idaho and exerts nationwide influence through his publishing house Canon Press, the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, and a network of “classical Christian” schools. In 2025, Wilson planted a church in Washington, D.C. to bring Christians working for the Trump administration into alignment with his worldview. 

Joel Webbon is a hard-core Christian nationalist who believes women should not have the right to vote and Jews should not be able to hold public office. Along with Oklahoma state Sen. Dusty Deevers, former Trump administration official William Wolfe, and others, Webbon contributed to “The Statement on Christian Nationalism and the Gospel," which declared that the United States must formally “acknowledge the Lordship of Christ” in all its laws, “abolish abortion,” outlaw marriage equality, and “recapture our national sovereignty from godless, global entities who present a grave threat to civilization.”
