Christian supremacists are a more extreme supporters of Christian nationalism who, like white supremacists, believe their group (in this case Christians) are inherently more virtuous and fit to lead others.[1] The New Apostolic Reformation is described the Washington Post as promoting Christian supremacy through a mix of hard-right politics and prophecy.[2] Taylor specifically points to the Seven Mountain Mandate as the plan for Christian dominance.[3][4] Joseph Wiinikka-Lydon of the Southern Poverty Law Center called the mandate a 'meme' for Christian supremacy.[5]
In the United States
Christian supremacy was used as one justification for stealing lands from Native Americans and enslaving Africans around the founding of the United States.[6]
Erik Prince of the mercenary company Blackwater was accused of being a Christian supremacist and deploying christian supremacists to Iraq that he hoped would muder Iraqis.[7] The company used lots of imagery from the Crusades.[7]
The growing role of Christian supremacy in the GOP since Donald Trump's election in 2016 has drawn concern from leaders of other faiths.[8][9] Al Sharpton and Doug Pagitt both called for Christians to reject Christian supremacy ideas promoted by Trump in 2020.[10]
In 2021, NBC published an article outlining how some Asian American christians felt discrimination within their churches, citing professors Lucas Kwong and K. Christine Pae on the connections between White supremacy and Christian supremacy.[11]
Kristin Kobes Du Mez described Mike Johnson as believing in Christian supremacy.[12]
Dutch Sheets has promoted the belief that of Christian supremacy.[13]
