Charlie Kirk's Shift from Secularism to Christian Nationalism

Once a proponent of church-state separation, Kirk now champions a Christian America, reflecting broader GOP trends.

In 2018, Kirk supported the separation of church and state, criticizing the imposition of religious values through government.
By 2022, he declared the separation of church and state a 'fiction' and advocated for integrating religion into politics.
Kirk and Turning Point USA have become influential in the Republican Party, aligning with Trump and mobilizing conservative Christians.
Kirk's rhetoric includes opposition to LGBTQ rights and the promotion of the Seven Mountains Mandate, aiming to place Christians in key societal positions.
Experts warn that framing political battles as spiritual warfare could incite radical actions among followers.
