White nationalists in general are people who believe the US ought to be populated by or at least controlled by white people. Christian nationalists believe the only legitimate religion is Christianity and that the US should be governed by Christians and Christian rules. There is a fair amount of overlap, since the evangelical Christians who want to take over the government are almost all white people, but the two kinds of nationalists are not ideologically identical.
