Dr. Paul Miller, a renowned professor of political science at Georgetown University, leveled his eyes over the top of his laptop, holding me and the ten other students in his seminar in his tractor beam of a gaze. Before we started to discuss Christian nationalism, he said he wanted to know where we stood. I was so certain I almost scoffed. Of course none of us supported Christian nationalism. All the pre-seminar readings had expounded its flaws in detail. But across the room from me, one student raised his hand and gave an impassioned support. I had not yet recovered from my surprise when another student raised his hand—and identified himself as a Christian nationalist! We went around the room, and all students but for a few, including myself, expressed their support.

Come back with me to the early weeks of March, when 25 BYU students are stepping out of airport vans onto dewy green turf in La Mirada, California. The sweeping sunshine and balmy breeze are quite at odds with the tension percolating among the students, of whom the majority are members of the Church of Jesus Latter-day Saints—they are going as “wanderers in a strange land,” as the prophet Jacob so neatly puts it, to visit with students at Biola University, an evangelical Christian university [1].

The end of the world as we know it comes slowly. One day, everyone started using an iPhone, and Blackberries faded out of existence; one day the dodo walked and squawked through the forests of Mauritius, and one day it simply didn’t anymore. One day, authoritarians ruled every major state or empire [1]; one day, those states faded from prominence, while democracies took their place.

Predawn light bleeds through your windows. You do your hair carefully for the day—you’ve noticed the guys at work who use nice products are taken more seriously [1]. You settle for hair gel and cologne: $20 total, $4 more than the women’s versions. Masculinity apparently costs extra [2].
