Christian Identity  

AFN heavily promotes Christian Identity to its members on its website, social media channels and during in-person events. Some Christian Identity followers, including AFN, embrace a fringe belief called the “dual seed-line doctrine” which posits that Jews are the demonic offspring of Satan and Eve. Conversely, white Europeans are considered to be the true descendants of the ‘Lost Tribes of Israel’ and thus are God’s chosen people. Adherents also refer to all non-white individuals as “mud peoples” that are devoid of souls. Christian Identity’s radical strain of antisemitism and predictions of a coming racial holy war have inspired some of its more militant followers to commit acts of domestic terrorism in the past.  

The number of Christian Identity ministries and congregants has steadily declined since peaking in the 1980s, its most extreme beliefs continue to permeate throughout neo-Nazi accelerationist communities in the US today. Stout, AFN’s president, has promulgated his Christian Identity views on online white supremacist forums for years. AFN’s social media channels also frequently extol the teachings of influential Christian Identity figures such as Richard Butler of the Aryan Nations and Wesley Swift.
