Walton’s thesis is that “the United States and the kingdom of God are antithetical to one another.” For Walton, the U.S. is coextensive with something he calls “white American folk religion,” or WAFR for short (I guess “WASP” is too outdated and exclusive an epithet). It is “white” because it is a system designed to subject other races to whites. It is “American” because the ideology is strongest here. It is “folk religion” because it is a “common set of popular beliefs and practices under the guise of true religion but outside of the faith’s official doctrines and practices.” However, said Walton, “WAFR claims to be Biblical Christianity.”
When using “WAFR” to describe a singular actor, Walton likely did not intend to communicate the notion that WAFR is some sort of science-fiction-esque, ethereal intelligence. It seems more reasonable that he was referring to a monolithic group of persons who act with one goal and purpose. However, this monolithic group has odd bedfellows: the Founding Fathers (particularly Washington and Jefferson), the Puritans, the Gospel Coalition, John Piper, Tim Keller, TobyMac, Joel Osteen, working-class Trump voters, business and media elites, Hollywood producers, Franklin Graham, Jerry Falwell, Jr., Tony Perkins, and I could go on. I don’t know how, but Barack Obama, Dinesh D’Souza, and Chinese and Korean immigrants are in the group as well. According to Walton, all these are agents of, or apologists for, white American folk religion. Never mind that some of these actors are arch-enemies and even call each other heretics.
