• An Oregon minister slammed Rep. Greene for pushing Christian nationalism in her political comments.
  • Rev. Chuck Currie called Christian nationalism a "racist ideology incompatible with Christianity."
  • "Beware false teachers like Greene. She dances with the devil," Currie tweeted.

A minister in Oregon this week rebuked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's embrace of Christian nationalism — an ideology he said is "incompatible with Christianity."

Rev. Chuck Currie responded to a social media post from Greene, where she called liberals "godless" and bragged about being a "proud Christian Nationalist."

"The left has shown us exactly who they are. They hate America, they hate God, and they hate us," Greene tweeted on Monday night.

In response, Currie tweeted: "Unlike Marjorie Taylor Greene, I've studied the Scriptures & devoted myself to serving the Church."

Currie, who is a chaplain emeritus at Pacific University in Oregon, added that he thought Christian nationalism is a "racist ideology incompatible with Christianity."

"Jesus was for all the world, not one nation," he tweeted. "Beware false teachers like Greene. She dances with the devil."

Christian nationalism is not the same as Christianity — it is a right-wing ideology that, among other things, advocates against the separation of church and state.

Reports from CNN and The New York Times have tracked how fringe conspiracy theories have taken hold in the movement, and how far-right politicians like Lauren Boebert, Doug Mastriano, and Greene, have espoused these messages.

This weekend, former President Donald Trump, too, appeared to push messaging in line with the tenets of Christian nationalism, telling a conference crowd that "Americans kneel to God, and God alone."

Currie and representatives for Greene did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.
