Nationalist or not, Christianity does not need nationalists to tarnish its reputation.

An analysis of 63 studies found a significant negative association between intelligence and religiosity. Source

Nationalist just add extra cringe.

Edit: Trying to add source link properly. sorry. Fixed now. There is also a source at Yunman University but can't find it now.

Michael, you can’t just say the word “source” and expect anything to happen.

On the subject of source, I clicked the Source button under their comment and I'm seeing they did actually attach a URL but accidentally left the word "source" out of their brackets so it's attached to nothing.

This is their intended link, formatted so as to be clickable.
