DominionismeLe dominionisme (dominionism) est un mouvement qui trouve son origine aux États-Unis parmi les protestants conservateurs (années 1980), et qui cherche à influencer ou contrôler le gouvernement civil à travers l'action politique — l'objectif étant que la nation soit gouvernée par des Chrétiens ou qu'elle soit gouvernée par une compréhension chrétienne de la loi biblique. On parle aussi de dominion theology. L'utilisation et l'application de cette terminologie est un sujet de controverse.
Critique du christianismeLa critique du christianisme porte sur les doctrines, les pratiques et l’histoire de la religion chrétienne. Elle inclut des critiques générales contre les religions et d'autres qui lui sont propres, ainsi que des critiques spécifiques adressées aux différentes Églises chrétiennes. D'un point de vue historique, les reproches émanent parfois des croyants eux-mêmes, qui soulignent le contraste entre une doctrine qui prêche officiellement l'amour du prochain, et des institutions qui ont au fil des siècles soutenu des pratiques telles que l'esclavagisme, créé l'Inquisition, lancé les croisades et propagé l'antisémitisme.
Nationalisme chrétienLe nationalisme chrétien est un nationalisme religieux affilié au christianisme. Les nationalistes chrétiens se concentrent principalement sur la politique intérieure, comme l'adoption de lois qui reflètent leur vision du christianisme et de son rôle dans la vie politique et sociale. Ils promeuvent activement les discours religieux et nationalistes dans divers domaines de la vie sociale, de la politique à l'histoire en passant par la culture et la science.
Christianity and violenceChristians have had diverse attitudes towards violence and nonviolence over time. Both currently and historically, there have been four attitudes towards violence and war and four resulting practices of them within Christianity: non-resistance, Christian pacifism, just war, and preventive war (Holy war, e.g., the Crusades). In the Roman Empire, the early church adopted a nonviolent stance when it came to war because the imitation of Jesus's sacrificial life was preferable to it.

Christian fascismChristian fascism is a term which is used to describe a far-right political ideology that denotes an intersection between fascism and Christianity. It is sometimes referred to as "Christofascism", a neologism which was coined in 1970 by the liberation theologian Dorothee Sölle. Tom F. Driver, the Paul Tillich Professor Emeritus at Union Theological Seminary, expressed concern "that the worship of God in Christ not divide Christian from Jew, man from woman, clergy from laity, white from black, or rich from poor".
Domestic terrorism in the United StatesIn the United States, domestic terrorism is defined as terrorist acts that were carried out within the United States by U.S. citizens and/or U.S. permanent residents. As of 2021, the United States government considers white supremacists to be the top domestic terrorism threat. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) defines domestic terrorism as violent, criminal acts which are committed by individuals and/or groups in order to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.
Violent extremismViolent extremism is a form of extremism that condones and enacts violence with ideological or deliberate intent, such as religious or political violence. Violent extremist views often conflate with religious and political violence, and can manifest in connection with a range of issues, including politics, religion, and gender relations. Although "radicalization" is considered by some to be a contentious term, its general use has come to regard the process by which an individual or group adopts violence as a desirable and legitimate means of action.
Domestic terrorismDomestic terrorism or homegrown terrorism is a form of terrorism in which victims "within a country are targeted by a perpetrator with the same citizenship" as the victims. There are many definitions of terrorism, and none of them are universally accepted. While there are many potential definitions of domestic terrorism, it is largely defined as terrorism in which the perpetrator targets his/her own country. Enders defines domestic terrorism as "homegrown in which the venue, target, and perpetrators are all from the same country.
Nationalist terrorismNationalist terrorism is a form of terrorism motivated by nationalism (often ultranationalism). Nationalist terrorists seek to form self-determination in some form, which may take the form of gaining greater autonomy, establishing a completely independent sovereign state (separatism), or joining another existing sovereign state with which the nationalists identify (irredentism). Nationalist terrorists often oppose what they consider to be occupying, imperial, or otherwise illegitimate powers.
