White Christian nationalism is a political ideology and cultural framework that views the USA as an explicitly and exceptionally Christian nation. It is a recent example of centuries of efforts to link a single religious faith to nation building, in this case to maintain a White supremacist and patriarchal society. Although White Christian nationalism has been investigated extensively in other disciplines such as political science, history, sociology, and religion, this article delineates its consequences for youth as well as solutions to interrupt its societal proliferation to promote more positive youth outcomes. Drawing on scholarship across the social sciences, we first define White Christian nationalism in the USA as master narrative, political force, and social movement. We then discuss how these forces affect youth through four types of activity settings. Finally, we propose interventions across activity settings of youth development to interrupt the effects of this ideology. We call on scholars to understand White Christian nationalism as a powerful ideology affecting youth as well as society at large.

白人基督教民族主义是一种政治意识形态和文化框架，它将美国视为一个明确且特殊的基督教国家。这是几个世纪以来努力将单一宗教信仰与国家建设联系起来的最新例子，在这种情况下，是为了维持白人至上主义和父权社会。尽管白人基督教民族主义在政治学、历史学、社会学和宗教等其他学科中得到了广泛的研究，但本文描述了它对青年的影响，以及阻止其社会扩散以促进更积极的青年成果的解决方案。借鉴社会科学的学术成果，我们首先将美国的白人基督教民族主义定义为主导叙事、政治力量和社会运动。然后我们讨论这些力量如何通过四种类型的活动环境影响青少年。最后，我们建议对青年发展的活动环境进行干预，以中断这种意识形态的影响。我们呼吁学者们将白人基督教民族主义理解为一种影响年轻人以及整个社会的强大意识形态。
