White Children of God: The characteristics of the basic political assumptions of Christian Identity in the United States

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to analyse the basic ideological assumptions characteristic of supporters and followers of the concept of Christian Identity in the United States. It presents the historical outline and the contemporary form of the ideology derived from British Israelism. As the concept of the ideology is defined very broadly in political science, the article focuses on the analysis of Christian Identity through the prism of the term. This makes it possible to look at the phenomenon from the point of view of a set of political, religious and philosophical views describing the desired vision of reality without narrowing the analysis only to categories related to religious worship. The article presents the views of the most important ideologues of Christian Identity and summarises the fundamental conceptual dispute concerning this political concept. It describes the Catholic Church’s evaluation of the phenomenon of race sacralisation. Moreover, the significance of Christian Identity for the potential integration processes occurring among the organisations of the contemporary American extremist right is signalled.
