There's plenty of very orthodox and theologically Conservative arguments to be made against Christian Nationalism.

It's highly legalistic and it entirely ignores everything Christ taught about loving other people as you love yourself.

Christian Nationalism by it's nature can't be refuted by secular arguments as those will not be received in good faith by the people it appeals to. But there are many Christian arguments against it, and almost all of those originate in the Bible.
