Charlie Kirk believed in a set of conservative and Christian nationalist principles. He advocated for traditional gender roles reminiscent of the 1950s, opposing abortion even in exceptional circumstances. He championed strong Second Amendment rights, viewing gun ownership as essential for defending freedoms, even accepting some gun-related fatalities as a trade-off for maintaining these rights. Kirk rejected the separation of church and state, describing the U.S. as a Christian nation or a Christian state, and opposed progressive ideas on gender identity, LGBTQ rights, and climate change skepticism. He also supported Israel vigorously and criticized Islam as incompatible with Western values. His worldview emphasized the superiority of Western civilization, rooted in biblical principles. In summary, Kirk's core beliefs included conservative Christianity, traditional gender roles, strong gun rights, opposition to abortion and what he called "wokeism," Christian nationalism, and a defense of Western values against perceived progressive erosion.
