George Lincoln Rockwell (founder of the American Nazi Party) wasn’t religious, but LOVED the Christian Identity Movement’s chosen name. Why?
It provides deniability / cover for the violent racists hell bent on race war.

Finally, the most frustrating part of these routine “you said Christian Identity because you hate Christians” defensive and ignorant Tweet barrages:
