Manifests distinctly in two parallel theological formations: MAGA Christianism (expressed through nationalist, conservative power structures that prioritize cultural and political dominance) and Providential Identitarianism (articulated through progressive, identity-based power claims that similarly replace Christ’s boundary-crossing love with ideological control).
MAGA Christianism: Conservative expression prioritizing cultural and political dominance over cruciform discipleship, using Christian identity to justify nationalist power claims
Providential Identitarianism: Progressive expression subordinating Christ’s boundary-crossing love to identity-based power claims and ideological control mechanisms
Megachurch Empire Building: Institutional expressions that prioritize organizational growth and influence over community formation and prophetic witness
Theocratic Aspirations: Political movements seeking to impose Christian identity through legal and cultural control rather than evangelical witness and service
