When I hear the phrase “Christian Nationalism” I am sometimes reminded of this image. It’s a photomontage by John Heartfield, a well-known anti-Nazi artist, satirically criticizing the Nazi co-option of Christianity.
The German text translates to:
Top text:
“For the founding of the German State Church”
Small text under the title:
“The Catholic Adolf Hitler organized the Evangelical German State Church and appointed a Reich Bishop”
Bottom text:
“The cross was not yet heavy enough”
