THE INTERFERENCE OF THE FAR-RIGHT IDEOLOGY QANON WITH CHRISTIANITY

Summary/Abstract: The new far-right movement, known as QAnon, strongly interferes with the churches and the communities of Christian believers, as highlighted by both the behavior of Christians who adopted QAnon conspiracy theories and the exponential spread of this phenomenon within religious congregations. The QAnon movement is seen by religious people as a new religion developed on the pillars of Christianity but beliefs are intertwined with conspiracy theories. For both Christians and followers of the QAnon movement, faith is the common element that makes them submit to ideology, doctrine, or dogma. Christians believe in Jesus Christ, and followers of the QAnon movement strongly believe in conspiracy theories. In such a context, the idea of the emergence of a new religion or denomination, a new type of religious belief, was advanced. This article highlights the common element of Christianity with the QAnon movement, namely faith, which makes many Christians believe in QAnon conspiracy theories.
