The current dominionist branch of western Christianity gets briefly looked at.

Their common goal? Political power.

At first glance the “religious right” might appear to be a bad fit with the politically ambitious. Not so.

Christian dominionists have always sought political power. They once possessed it, but as human rights and progressive government took hold, the place fundamentalist Christian dominance once held over the people was eventually replaced by democracy and, something no fundamentalist Christian accepts, political and religious dissent.

The “religious right”, a group which inherently submitted to authority, found in the amoral political establishment a kinship. The amoral politicians, on the other hand, found a body of votes by simply offering to “share” power if they received the support of the “religious right”.

The distinction of dominionists is an important one, the religious right tent is big.
