The Billionaire Backers of Theocracy: How Wealth Fuels Dominionism

The Dominionist movement isn’t just a grassroots evangelical uprising—it’s a corporate-
backed, billionaire-funded political operation. Wealthy elites are driven by power rather
than faith. They use Christian nationalism as a tool to control the masses while
consolidating wealth and political dominance. Who’s Bankrolling the Theocratic Takeover?

1. The Koch Network – While the Kochs are often associated with libertarian economics,
   their money has fueled religious-right organizations, anti-abortion groups, and attacks on
   LGBTQ+ rights. Why? Because religious fundamentalism creates a docile population less
   likely to challenge corporate power.
2. The DeVos Family – Billionaire Betsy DeVos and her family are on a mission to destroy
   public education and replace it with religious indoctrination. They fund school voucher
   programs, Christian schools, and think tanks pushing Dominionist ideology.
3. The Wilks Brothers – Texas oil billionaires fund Dominionist megachurches and media
   outlets that promote Christian nationalism. They also bankroll political candidates who
   pledge to advance biblical law.
4. The Mercer Family – Heavily invested in far-right media and political influence, they
   help spread Dominionist propaganda through platforms like Breitbart and through
   financing GOP politicians who back Christian nationalist policies.
5. The Hobby Lobby Fortune – The Green family (owners of Hobby Lobby) funds anti-
   LGBTQ+, anti-abortion, and religious “freedom” legal cases that work to erode secular laws.
6. The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) – A legal powerhouse funded by right-wing
   billionaires, the ADF crafts legal strategies to dismantle LGBTQ+ protections, overturn Roe
   v. Wade, and impose religious exemptions on civil rights laws.
   Why Do Billionaires Support Dominionism?
   – Distraction & Control – Theocracy keeps people fighting over religion, gender roles,
   and sexuality instead of challenging economic inequality.
   – Eliminating Social Safety Nets – They justify gutting social programs by pushing the
   idea that charity, not government, should care for the poor.
   – Destroying Public Education – An uninformed population is easier to control. If
   people are trained to obey biblical authority, they won’t demand better wages or
   healthcare.
   – Corporate Authoritarianism – By fusing religious dogma with politics, billionaires
   can run the country like a business—without pesky democratic accountability.

The end game? A Christian nationalist oligarchy where the ultra-rich rule without
interference, and religious zealotry keeps the population in check.
Why the Media Fails to Call Out Christian Nationalism
Despite the growing threat, mainstream media largely ignores or misrepresents
Dominionism. Why?

1. Fear of “Offending” Religious Viewers
   Major networks hesitate to report critically on Christian nationalism because they fear
   backlash from religious conservatives. Instead, they frame the movement as “faith-based”
   rather than what it is: a theocratic coup.
2. Misunderstanding the Movement
   Many journalists don’t understand the difference between evangelical Christianity and
   dominionism. They treat Dominionists as just another religious voting bloc instead of a
   radical movement bent on dismantling democracy.
3. The “Both Sides” Fallacy
   Mainstream media tries to balance coverage, which often results in false equivalence. For
   example:
   – They frame anti-LGBTQ+ laws as “religious freedom” vs. “civil rights” rather than
   what it actually is: state-sponsored discrimination.
   – They report abortion bans as a “pro-life stance” rather than a coordinated effort to
   control women’s bodies.
4. Corporate Ownership of Media
   Many news outlets are owned by the same billionaires who fund Dominionist policies. This
   means investigative reporting on Christian nationalism is actively discouraged.
5. Media Focus on Trump, Not the Theocracy Behind Him
   The press loves covering Trump’s authoritarianism but fails to connect it to the religious
   movement driving it. Trump is just a figurehead. The real architects of this movement are
   the Dominionists who see him as their tool to seize power.
   The Dominionist Playbook: How They Are Reshaping America
   The GOP has been hijacked by Dominionist ideology. Here’s how they’re implementing
   their theocratic takeover:
6. Hijacking the Courts
   – Stacking the Supreme Court with judges who rule based on religious doctrine, not
   constitutional law.
   – Overturning Roe v. Wade as a steppingstone toward criminalizing contraception and
   same-sex marriage.
   – Using courts to chip away at civil rights laws under the guise of “religious freedom.”
7. Controlling Education
   – Banning books that challenge Christian nationalism.

– Pushing “biblical literacy” classes in public schools.
– Diverting taxpayer money to private religious schools.

3. Legislating Religious Law
   – Anti-abortion laws based on religious beliefs.
   – Anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ policies justified through biblical rhetoric.
   – Laws that allow Christian businesses to discriminate against marginalized groups.
4. Suppressing Opposition
   – Voter suppression targeting secular and progressive voters.
   – Gerrymandering to lock Dominionists into power.
   – Criminalizing protests and activism under “domestic terrorism” laws.
5. Weaponizing Christian Nationalism for War
   – Some Dominionists believe war with “non-Christian” nations is part of God’s plan.
   – Support for Israel isn’t about Jewish people—it’s about fulfilling End Times
   prophecy.
   – Military leaders with Dominionist beliefs are rising in ranks, increasing the threat of
   holy war justification.

   Where Do We Go From Here?
   Exposing Dominionism is crucial. The mainstream media won’t do it, so it’s up to us to
   sound the alarm.
