Responding to the claim the Trinity is “unavoidably biblical”
Generations of Christians went by before the idea of the Trinity was created. In much of the Bible, Jesus is treated as separate from God, but in some places, Jesus is more identified with God.

The Biblical authors were writing from different perspectives and had different takes on Jesus.

America’s Christian Death Cult
A version of Christian nationalism believes that Christianity is a pro-war religion that supports strong nationalist policies that protect Christianity and what it views as traditional life. It is more focused on defeating the enemy than on love. It is more about militaristic and capitalist ideology, than the words of Jesus in the Bible.
