The objection is to describing them as Christian, regardless of any other appendage. Nothing in their credo or behavior suggests any association with the teachings of Jesus the Christ whose robe they try to shelter under.
If their objective is what *they* understand to be a "Christian nation," then "Christian nationalist" is absolutely the correct term. They may not "be Christian" to you, but that's irrelevant; *all* self-identified Christian sects, from the largest Catholic communion on down, are "not Christian" to some other sects.

Fair enough. I agree.
