Christian Identity
Christian Identity refers to loosely affiliated believers in this ideology, and their churches which consist of a religious movement asserting that "Whites" are God's chosen people and that all non-whites are the spawn of Satan. It has strong ties to the White Power Movement (particularly the Ku Klux Klan) and is also strongly anti-semitic and homophobic.
These churches hold deeply prejudiced white supremacist views that exclude anyone that does not befit the desired "white" mold. For example, they believe that only Caucasian-born citizens of either Germanic, Anglo-Saxon, Nordic, Aryan, or Celtic (except southern Irish and Breton) descent have souls and that all the other races in the world do not. Because they lack souls of their own, they can never get God's favor and they can never get saved. They also believe that Jesus Christ only saved those in the House of Judah and the House of Israel through him dying on the cross. Therefore, salvation could only be obtained through redemption and racial identity.
