Mills' "The Odinist Religion: Overcoming Jewish Christianity" was published in 1939. In that work, Mills claimed (without evidence) that Nordic races had established the ancient civilisations of Sumer, Egypt, Persia, Greece, and Rome, but that they had been weakened by miscegenation with other races. He was particularly affronted by the espoused Christian assumption that all humans were equal. The following year he stood for the Federal seat of Fawkner representing the Motorists' Protection League. He polled 2,152 votes compared to Harold Holt's 38,387 (for the U.A.P.) and A. E. Fraser's 22,558 (A.L.P.)
