It's mainly discussed in the liberal media. Just look at FK's list of liberal sources.
It is discussed on the right some, pro and con. Pro in the sense of the need for a more moral government. Con in the American traditional sense of keeping government from corrupting religion.

Christian Nationalism is a simple and straightforward concept, and it isn't especially new.
Rutgers has a good definition.
Q. How do we define and understand the term Christian nationalism?
A. Christian nationalists insist that the United States was established as an explicitly Christian nation, and they believe that this close relationship between Christianity and the state needs to be protected—and in many respects restored—in order for the U.S. to fulfill its God-given destiny. Recent scholarship underscores the extent to which these efforts to secure a privileged position for Christianity in the public square often coincide with efforts to preserve the historical status quo on issues of race, gender, and sexuality. And the practical ramifications of such views involve everything from support for laws that codify specific interpretations of Christian morality, to the defense of religious displays on public property, to nativist reactions to non-white, non-Christian immigrants.

As far as my readings on it go, it is innocuous. To me the number one aim of any government ought to be to serve justice and justice has very much to do with morality and Christianity is the traditional and historical source of morality in America. You don't have to be a Christian to understand this.
