Christianity in American white nationalism

Summary

Since the 1980 US presidential races, the term "religious right" has come to signify a politically and socially conservative form of Christianity. Less well known, however, are the various other religions that have influenced white racist activities in America. The recent popularity of these ideologies has caused a shift away from, and resulting hostility toward, Christianity among white nationalists. In Blood and Faith, Berry explores the causes of this shift, as well as the challenges it has created for contemporary white nationalists who seek access to the conservative American political mainstream
