Kinism is the belief that the divinely ordained social order is tribal and familial as opposed to imperial and propositional.

Christian Reconstructionism movement and advocate that God's intended order is 'loving one's kind' by separating people along 'tribal and ethnic' lines to live in large, extended-family groups."[2]

History and ideology

The Kinist ideology emerged in either the 1990s or the early 2000s.[3]

Some kinists were associated with the

Samuel T. Francis as editor of The Citizens Informer, the publication of the white nationalist Council of Conservative Citizens, endorsed kinism and said "[V]ery simply, without some level of discrimination, no nation… can permanently exist at all."[3]

Kinists claim that the Bible prohibits racial integration.[3] The Anti-Defamation League notes that "Despite having an explicit, racially centric set of beliefs, Kinists often deny the claim that they are racists."[3] The movement is loosely organized and as a result, it does not have a single leader; as of 2003, there were various kinist activists in the United States, many of them had an Internet presence which consisted of websites and blogs.[3]

Kinists are different from adherents of other white nationalist religions, such as

universal salvation through Jesus. Many other white supremacist groups completely reject Christianity or, when they do practice Christianity, they adhere to a form of the religion which only recognizes whites as capable of receiving salvation."[3]

The Southern Poverty Law Center has called kinism "a new strain of racial separatism that wants America to be broken up into racial mini-states."[8]

In 2019, a synod of the Christian Reformed Church in North America formally condemned kinism and declared it a heresy.[9] This was in response to a kinist pastor who has since then left the denomination.[10]
