Christian nationalism is a new name for an old and dangerous ideology that conflates American identity with religious identity. Unwilling to acknowledge that America was always meant to be a country that respects people of all beliefs, adherents of Christian nationalism believe they enjoy special favor from God, and are guided by the belief that America is a nation for and by Christians. Deeply entangled with strains of authoritarianism, white supremacy, and xenophobia, the ideology privileges the religious claims of the few above the vast majority of religious and non-religious Americans who believe in church-state separation and democracy for and by the people -- ALL the people.

It's essentially a myth propounded by Left-wing politicians and writers. "The sky is falling, the sky is falling, there are 'Christian Nationalists' threatening everything, etc."

And by the way also, the quote used in the Original Post here is full of other propaganda terms, so it should be easy for any reader to see whom to beware of.

The purpose--like numerous other slanders used this way--is to stigmatize very ordinary Americans who are the targets of this extremist movement that is tearing at the fabric of ordinary society. In reality, there probably are a tiny number of actual Christian Nationalists, but they represent almost nothing significant in the political spectrum. Still in all, just making the claim furthers the purposes of those people who use it.
