Call me ecumenical, but I believe that Anglicans are Christians
A woman is someone who is recognized by a government document as a woman. That’s because we are a nation of laws. That’s what civilization is. We aren’t a pack of animals. The question isn’t “What is a woman?” The question is “Who should we allow to become a woman?”

But this has always been one of my problems with Christian Nationalism as a rallying point, it is not specific enough As Jack points there are disastrous nations that have protestant populations, this is not enough to identify why America is what it is
Which is why Samuel Huntington specifically identified Anglo-Protestantism as the core of the American identity He notes that even Catholics and Jews in America take on an Anglo-Protestant attitude which often makes them seems strange to other Catholics and Jews
Saying America was founded on ‘Protestant Spirit’ is like saying Rome was founded on Jupiter worship The Founders did not envision America as some multi-ethnic Protestant utopia They founded a nation-state built by and for their specific heritage and civilization
