The reason why is that the Christian nationalist movement relies on a narrative of victimhood and fear. “The so called tolerant left wants to destroy Christianity and traditional America. There is no room for you. They don’t want you.”

I don't feel any special affinity for xtianity, though I was raised in a (leftist) tradition of xtianity, and have more than a few family members still part of various leftist xtian denominations. But the left and the Democratic Party have lots and lots of xtians in both, so what the right says is of course utter and complete nonsense.

What should be made clear is that there is plenty of room for xtians - as long as they realize that they have no special place or privilege over other Americans, and they have no special rights to try to indoctrinate others. If the rest of us don't want to be part of their thing, they need to respect that and leave us the fuck alone. Their laws are for them and for them alone. Their rules don't apply to our secular government. When they start trying to subject other people and their children to their book club by governmental force and injecting their rules into our government, that's where the problems start.
