Many individuals, groups, organizations, institutes, and foundations are currently active in the United States which exist for the sole purpose of destroying the Constitutional laws and rights upon which honest Americans abide. Their motivations are many, consisting of a broad spectrum of destructive and tyrannical religious ideologies. There are no known secular hate groups in operation in the United States. (If you know of any, please let me know so that I can investigate the organizations and report on them.)

Of course we have all seen the media coverage of these hate groups:

• The better-educated among us watched in horror as David Duke, the one-time head of the Christian organization called The Ku Klux Klan, nearly acquired the governor-ship of Louisiana. Imagine what the results of a successful election for David Duke would have been to every Jew, black, Catholic, Mormon, Jehovah Witness, Mexican, and atheist in the State.

• We continue to observe hatred and bigotry spouted from every fundamentalist Christian pulpit across the country. Bigotry against blacks, women, homosexuals, Mexicans, atheists, and even other brand names of Christianity are all favorite targets for these purveyors of hatred. Using the rhetoric of "Hate the sin, not the sinner," these people manage to convince themselves they can hate with justification. Using the rhetoric of," Jews were created out of mud" and "blacks are the result of Eve copulating with animals," these purveyors of hatred manage to convince themselves they can hate with justification -- all of it fully sanction by gods and the Christian mythologies, of course.

• Every week brings news of domestic Christian terrorists murdering abortion providers, blowing up business, or assaulting women. One Christian terrorist organization last month even went so far as to plant two bombs timed apart for the specific purpose of killing rescue workers working to aid the victims of the first. (Review the so-called "Army of God" Christian organization.)

• Every month brings news of a self-proclaimed "militia" taking "responsibility" for a terrorist act against what they pretend is "the enemy." Every one of the self-proclaimed "militias" are Christian terrorist organizations with a membership largely consisting of Pentecostal or Christian Identity believers. They believe that Jews are taking over the world with a so-called New World Order and that they have the right to murder children because "what about all those unborn babies murdered in abortion clinics?" They believe that the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States grants them the right to form "militias" of their own. (They do so by selectively reading what they wish and ignoring the rest of the Constitution.) Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, is a Christian Identity follower who was trained by one of these self-proclaimed "militias," led by a Baptist minister.

• Voter apathy allows Creationists to subvert science education in the public schools -- until the populace learns of their stealth deceptions and turn out in mass to eject them the following year. In the same vein there are hundreds of anti-science organizations which seek to subvert science in favor of a racial or religious ideology masquerading as science -- every single one of which are the very antithesis of good, quality science.

• The growing anti-women sentiment culminating in the creation of the Promise Keepers -- the so-called "Men's Christian Organization" which advocates the violent "taking back" of men's authority over their wives -- all for the little women's good, of course. During and immediately after this group's Klan rallies, many women have reported being accosted by these hate-mongering anti-woman bigots.

• The instigation of unconstitutional laws around the country, each of which seek to feed upon the fears and hatred of the ignorant among the populace. From the "Communications Decency Act" to the infamous Proposition 2 in Colorado, fundamentalist purveyors of hatred and bigotry are actively seeking to enact unconstitutional laws.

When humanists and secularists ask for honest Christians to take care of their religion's garbage and try to police their members, the ages-old cop-out is nearly always employed: "Oh but they're not TRUE Christians!" Thus the problem is relegated to "It's not our fault because it's not our problem."

The problem is that Christianity is fractured into thousands of brands, each of them ranging from the positive side of the spectrum to the most evil side of the spectrum. Every fraction pretends every other fraction aren't "TRUE Christians." Thus honest Christians honestly don't see the need to police groups they can't acknowledge are their responsibility.

The fact is that hatred and bigotry is everybody's business. Sadly the clean-up of religious bigots have been left to the secular community simply because the religious refuse to admit they have a problem and will rarely even acknowledge they exists.

We all know the major players. Here is a list which will grow over the years. The list contains some of the major players as well as many of the hate groups which finance hatred and bigotry in the United States. As detailed information comes in concerning each, that information will be provided.

If you know of other like-minded organizations, please let me know so that I can check into them and include them in the list.

• American Spectator.

• American Center for Law and Justice. This hate group is led by Marion "Pat" Robertson, one of the most hateful bigots we have in America.

• America's Promise Ministries. This is a pretty rabid anti-Semetic group which wants to pretend that white people are the "chosen ones" of the gods instead of Jews.

• Amway Corporation. Has extensive ties with the Council for National Policy and provides funds for a great many bigot causes.

• Aryan Nations. One of the better known organizations whose official membership must profess a belief in the Christian gods. While they mostly focus on anti-Semitism, they also advocate the murder of homosexuals. Meeting places are usually always Christian churches. Traditional robes are still worn during some meetings yet the ritual robe has been pretty much replaced by the business suit.

• Bill Bright, Campus Crusade for Christ. One of the more notable hate groups seeking to replace the Constitution with a strange brand of theocracy.

• Billy Falling, Christian Voters League. This hate master has ties to LifeLine and the Randal Terry terrorist.

• Cathedral of the Pines. An organization that allows the free use of a beautiful forest setting for weddings -- unless you're a Wiccan or Pagan couple, that is. When this organization lifts their ban on life- affirming religions using the facilities, they'll be removed from this list.

• Christian Association of PrimeTimers. This group targets senior citizens as their victims. It uses the money that retired people have or receive for their retirement to work toward destroying the Constitution and installing their brand of theocracy.

• Chalcedon Foundation. This cult wishes to discard the Constitution and install themselves as the leaders of a theocracy.

• Christian Coalition. Considered by most Christians and non-Christians to be an anti-Christian organization, ironically enough. This group is one of the largest organizations responsible for trying to get Creationism snuck into the public schools. Also works to implant state-sanctioned prayers to the Christian deities in the public schools. Works to deny a woman's right to choose abortion. Also works to finance religious schools through tax money. Headed by Ralph Reed, this organization has become ever more deadly over the years. Agenda includes the replacement of public schools with fundamentalist Christian schools paid for by tax dollars.

• Christian Reconstructionism. This is rather like Christian Identity yet, instead of a primary focus on race hatred, these Christians focus on discarding the Constitution and the Democratic Republic in favor of theocracy. Like most fundamentalist Christians, this hate group also wishes to execute homosexuals. One of the most vocal bigots representing this hate movement is George Grant.

• Citizens for Excellence in Education. Organization attempts to get State-sanction invocation to the Christian deities imposed in the public schools. Also works to sneak Creationism into public schools. Agenda includes the replacement of public schools with fundamentalist Christian schools paid for by tax dollars.

• Collegiate Network. Seeks to impose State-sanctioned prayer to the Christian gods in the public schools. Works to stop sex education in public schools. Has some experience attempting to get Creationism taught as if it were science. Agenda includes the replacement of public schools with fundamentalist Christian schools paid for by tax dollars.

• Concerned Women for America. A not-very-serious kind of organization which focuses on anti-abortion, anti-woman, and anti-homosexual rhetoric. Publishes a minor publication. Ironically the group is intended for women.

• Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Cult master is D. James Kennedy. This hate group seeks to destroy the Constitution and install a theocracy in their own image. The hate group is violently homophobic and anti-woman. The membership is vocally homophobic. The rhetoric the hate group's leaders use are military in nature: they pretend they're "soldiers" and that they're an "army." Their rhetoric includes phrases such as, "government of christ." The hate group has ties to the Rushdoony cult and Christian reconstructionist racist groups. Kennedy also runs the "Center for Christian Statesmanship," directed by Frank Wright. It's violently anti-abortion and anti-woman as well as anti-ACLU, anti-United Nations, and its sales tactics include hatred of communism. Kenney's co-conspirators includes David Barton and Randall Terry -- two domestic terrorist leaders. Also conspires with R. J. Rushdoony, Gary North, and Pete Peters. Has further ties to the "Coalition on Revival" and the so-called "Christian Coalition."

• Council for Conservative Citizens. This group foments racism with special focus upon anti-Semitism.

• Council for National Policy. Very secret organization which works to discard the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and seeks to impose theocracy in America -- theocracy done-up in their own image. Dobson, the leader behind the Focus On the Family cult, works very closely with this hate group. The group meets in secret yet Freedom Writer manages to `slip' reporters into their gatherings. At the Feb 7, 1998 gathering, former U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese, former U.S. Vice President Dan Quayle, Steve Forbes, Phyllis Schlafly, and Christian Coalition president Donald Hodel attended. This hate-group is so secret that they don't publically announce their gatherings and special badges are issued to those invited to attend. The group works very hard to keep anyone out who might report on what they talk about though they have been infiltrated and can't do anything about civil rights groups taking their photographs from the bushes.

• Domino's Pizza. Has a long history of financing domestic terrorist "Pro-Life" organizations. At one time a set percentage of this organization was distributed to a number of anti-abortion groups yet either the practice has stopped else (which is more likely) the organization has stopped advertising their financing of terrorist groups.

• Focus on the Family. One of the most blatant homophobic groups in the United States. Finances Promise Keeper cult to some extent. Sells fear to the gullible over the radio then sells books, tapes, tracts, magazines, et al. to the gullible to "solve" their problem. (Contact Fredric L. Rice for further details about his personal involvement with this hate group.)

• Free Congress Foundation.

• Heartland Institute.

• Institute for Justice.

• Jack Chick Publications. This bizarre hate cult publishes comic books for their followers which are much like the comic books published by the Ku Klux Klan. The cult tries to make its followers believe that there is a world-wide conspiracy of "Satanists" and "witches" in America which kidnap, torture, murder, then eat around 300,000 babies. Since there is no evidence, law enforcement agencies are obviously involved in the conspiracy. This cult hates Pagans and Wiccans most of all.

• Jerry Falwell. This hate leader seeks to disband the Constitution and install theocracy of his own creation. Violently anti-woman as well as homophobic. Falwell has allegedly paid out millions of dollars to keep the families of children he's raped from proceeding with legal charges.

• Jews for Jesus. One of the more bizarre groups which specifically targets Jews -- and ignores the uncounted thousands of requests by Jews who want to be left alone. This organization demands that Jews should ignore the Christian blasphemy of making a god out of a man and the even worse blasphemy of making that man/god Jewish.

• Jim Wickstrom. This loser is a Christian Identity master which has strong ties to the "Posse Comitatus," a cult which hates Jews and blames abortions on vague, unspecified "Jewish Doctors." This nut and his cult pretends that fetuses taken from people by "Jewish Doctors" will be blasted into space -- I'm not kidding; that's what this hate group tells each other.

• John Ashcroft, Senator from Missouri. This clown wants to destroy the Constitution and construct a strange theocracy -- presumably with himself in charge. This guy is a senator and yet he's anti-American.

• Ku Klux Klan. Probably the most historically militant hate group operating around the world. The activities of this group has been on the decline in the United States yet the organization is still huge and still exists. Members must profess belief in the Christian gods. The organization is ideologically in step with Aryan Nations. Usually meets in Christian churches. Organizes hate marches. The ACLU has also defended their rights to march and speak.

• Landmark Legal Foundation. Funds attempts to create tax-subsidized religious schools. Agenda includes the replacement of public schools with fundamentalist Christian schools paid for by tax dollars.

• Lifeline Long Distance. One of the most sickening hate groups you're likely to find. They specifically advertise intolerance for homosexuals and use 10% of their revenues to finance anti-abortion agendas and anti-homosexual laws. Also verified to be financing domestic terrorist organizations like Operation Rescue and the so-called Army of God. This hate group makes no apology for what it does.

• Lyndon LaRouche. One of the most bizarre, insane individuals one is likely to meet. This hate monger is a very good example of what a belief in the Christian mythologies can do to someone when they are pathologically paranoid and hate-filled.

• Manhatten Institute.

• Nation of Islam. Originally started by Malcom Little (a.k.a. Malcom-X) this group started with the desire to bring equality to black Americans. Over the years it has become corrupt and politically abusive, focusing upon and fomenting racial disharmony. Lately this hate group has started to perpetuate conspiracy theories involving the Los Angeles Police Department.

• National Association of Scholars.

• National Empowerment Television.

• National Interest.

• National Right to Life.

• New Criterion.

• Operation Rescue. A domestic terrorist organization responsible for the murder of a large number of abortion providers. Headed by cult leader Randal Terry. The organization preaches hatred and ignorance and the submission of females to their male masters. The cult's leadership advocates the abolishment of the Constitution and the removal of women from the work force. The cult has recently started to jump onto the homophobic bandwagon as a means of increasing their revenues. Though Terry still runs this hate group, the leaders have put one Jeff White up as puppet leader controlled by Terry. This hate group generates organizations daily -- an example being `Operation Restore Liberty.' Many other hate mongers work for the group including criminals such as Rev. Flip Benham.

• Parental Freedom in Education. Funds attempts to create tax-subsidized religious schools. Attempts to sneak cult followers into public school boards through second or third-hand organizations. Agenda is to replace public schools with fundamentalist Christian schools paid for by tax dollars.

• Partners Advancing Values in Education. Funds attempts to create tax-subsidized religious schools. Has some history of attempting to sneak cult followers into Public School boards.

• Pete Peters. This individual is one of the most rabid spokesmen for the self-proclaimed "militia" cults that have sprung-up around the United States in the last five years. He and his groups demand that Jews are controlling the world in conjunction with a so-called "New World Order" within which the United Nations will be taking over the United States. Thus Jews become the puppet masters of an international, "Satan-led" conspiracy to destroy us all.

• Policy Research Institute. Funds attempts to create tax-subsidized religious schools. Agenda includes the replacement of public schools with fundamentalist Christian schools paid for by tax dollars.

• Phineas Priesthood. The title "Phineas" is used by a great many Christian hate groups in the United States. The name is taken from the classical Christian mythologies. In the mythologies Phineas murders married couple because they were of different races. You can well imagine what this and other Christian hate groups with "Phineas" in their titles stand for.

• Promise Keepers. Anti-woman, anti-homosexual hate groups which meet in football and baseball stadiums. The rhetoric employed is that the Christian gods sanction the violent "taking back" of male's dominion over women -- all for the little woman's own good, of course.

• Public Interest.

• Rodney O. Skurdal. This is one of the most blatantly and vocal anti-woman bigots you're likely to find. This one makes statements about how women should not be allowed in the workplace.

• Scientology. This is one of the most criminal businesses yet created. They think nothing of torturing and murdering members and ex-members.

• Stormfront White Nationists.

• The Army of God. Much like Operation Rescue only this one takes responsibility for their terrorist activities. This Christian group claims the responsibility for several abortion clinic bombing, including the now-infamous double-bombing specifically intended to murder the rescue workers aiding victims in the first blast.

• The Bradly Foundation. Funds attempts to create tax-subsidized religious schools. One of the more deceitful of such organizations. Agenda includes the replacement of public schools with fundamentalist Christian schools paid for by tax dollars.

• The Church of Jesus Christ Christian. Ideologically similar to Aryan Nations and Ku Klux Klan. Anti-Semetic hatred is their primary focus. Engages in and advocates violence.

• The Heritage Foundation. Finances racist "research" such as the book "The Bell Curve." One of the more serious groups which at least attempts to appear to be predicated in reason. (See the archive folder titled "The Bell Curve I.Q.")

• The Institute for Historic Review. An anti-Semitic hate group which tries to deny the Jewish Holocaust ever happened. While the group makes the attempt to appear scholarly, people who actually spend the time to review this group's publications or listen to the cult leader's rhetoric easily uncover the blatant lies. This Christian cult has a web site http://www.ihr.org/ which exposes their own racist hatreds. This hate group also can been exposed on http://www.fpp.co.uk/

• Jewish Defense League. This group is the other side of the anti-semite coin which, though originally chartered to expose the revisionism and denial of the Jewish Holocaust, has itself become wracked with hate rhetoric. Said one Robert J. Newman in a JDL article titled "David Cole: Monstrous Traitor," "Don't you think it is time that we flushed this rotten, sick individual down the toilet, where the rest of the waste lies? One less David Cole in the world will certainly not end Jew-hatred, but it will have removed a dangerous parasitic, disease-ridden bacteria from infecting society." The article then is followed by what appears to be a threat: "JDL wants to know the location of Holocaust denier David Cole, pictured above. Anyone giving us his correct address will receive a monetary reward." Irv Ruben of the JDL later denied that it was a hit or a contract out on David Cole. The fact that the Jewish Defense League has not apologized for Mr. Newman's hate-filled remarks earns this group an entry in The Skeptic Tank's hate list. It will be removed when a public apology is made by Mr. Newman to Mr. Cole. NOTE: The FBI listed the JDL as a terrorist organization.

• The John M. Olin Foundation.

• The Moral Majority. One-time major player on the hatred and bigotry field, this organization has declined toward unofficial existence. The organization's leaders and members, however, haven't gone anywhere and are still active in promoting unconstitutional laws across the nation.

• The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. As most everyone knows this organization works toward "raising" the living standards of dark-skinned citizens in the United States. What many people don't know, however, is that the leadership of this organization is becoming more and more Muslim. The hiring policy of this organization is entirely racist and elitist as well. The group has historically done much good for society yet has become ever more corrupt over the years.

• The Order. This hate group is mastered by Bob Mathews, a domestic terrorist which focuses on racism and abortion. He and his cult like to demand that abortion in the United States is "the suicide of the white race" never mind the fact that abortion in the United States is predominately used by blacks and Mexicans.

• The Rutherford Institute. Has a history of targeting children.

• The Sarah Scaife Foundation.

• The Sword and the Cross. One of the many anti-Semitic hate groups in operation around the world. Ideologically similar to the so-called "Identity"e; groups that are gaining in popularity among the anti-Semitic populace.

• The Union-Leader (newspaper.) Right-wing extremist publication which is more of a bulletin than a newspaper.

• Traditional Values Coalition. Anti-homosexual hate group which actively attempts to make people believe there is no such thing as a separation of church and State.

• U. S. Tax Payers Party. Actively supports the domestic terrorist group Operation Rescue.

• Voting Integrity Project.

• West Minister Academy. This is a K-12 school which has ties to the Knox Theological Seminary. It's a private school wherein children are taught to hate.

• Westboro Baptist Church, Topeka, Kansas. Rev. Fred Phelps. This is one of the most rabid homophobic groups in operation around the United States. This particular group is so evil as to actually "picket" funerals for homosexuals, turning them into fist-fights and riots. Though The Skeptic Tank has additional information on this hate group in the archives, Schartz Patrick provided a good summation: "They picket churches, schools, businesses, funerals against homosexuality. Everyone who does not believe in their ways of thinking is a homosexual or a Jezebelian whore. According to Phelps' group, Bob Dole is a fag; Washburn University is a institution headed by fags; and local churches have nothing but homosexual preachers. According to one Phelps follower that I encountered a few years ago, the priest at my Catholic church was a 'faggot.'"

• White Aryan Resistance. This Christian hate group is led by Tom Metzger, a master who tells his sheep that abortion is okay provided it is of non-white mothers, otherwise the white mother should be forced to give birth at gun point.

• Virginia Trinitarian Pro-nomian Alliance (VTPA.) This hate group seeks to overthrow the Constitution of the United States and works to remove the Bill of Rights. The followers are Christian Reconstructionists which attempt to install theocracy in the United States.
