Two days ago, the New York Times published an interview Patrick Healy did with NYT religion reporters Elizabeth Dias and Ruth Graham. In the interview Healy asked Dias and Graham to talk about the term "Christian nationalism" — which both refuse to use in their coverage of contemporary American religion.

Healy notes that readers want NYT religion reporters to be accurate in reporting on religion in the Trump era.

But the Times and its religion reporters think that the term "Christian nationalism" isn't accurate: it's biased. Using it is "taking sides" and not being "objective."

Using it is offensive to Trump and the white Christians who support him. Dias suggests that this is a scholarly term rather than a description of anything real — as if journalists can make up the reality on which they report while ignoring scholarly consensus.
