White supremacy
The Christian Identity movement, which is regarded by most other Christians as heretical is closely tied to white supremacy. The Ku Klux Klan's reasons for wanting racial segregation are not mainly based on religious ideas. But the Klan uses Christian symbols like a cross on fire in order to put fear in their victims. The Klan persecuted Catholics.Some white supremacists say that they follow the Odinist religion. Most Odinists do not accept white supremacy. White supremacists make up only a small part of those who support Odinism (belief in the gods of Norse mythology). Some white supremacist groups, such as the South African Boeremag, put parts of Christianity and Odinism together.
