Theological Extremism in America

Paper Summary:

This paper looks at the origins, evolution and ideology of militia groups in the United States. The paper explains how militia groups, at one time not associated with any particular religion or right-wing political group, have now come to attract members of certain religions and radical right-wing political parties. It looks at the different elements that make up these radical right-wing groups and the worldview to which they typically subscribe.

From the Paper:

"The ideological feature of the citizen militias is their sense that alteration is hardly ever for the good and never the outcome of chance. Any divergence from the "golden age" of America's history has been the result of a deliberate, malevolent design. Thus, flowing from this belief comes profligate conspiracy scenarios."
