"We must base our laws on faith, not reason.
Mark Rushdoony
Dominionism or Christian sharia (and sometimes used interchangeably with Christian Reconstructionism and theonomy, see below) is a political and religious philosophy that seeks to make the United States government a Christian theocracy.[2] (Most Dominionists try to avoid using this name. Regardless, it is usually applied to any Christian movement with these explicit or implicit goals.)
Dominionists believe that the civil laws laid down by the Old Testament (as distinct from the moral laws such as the Ten Commandments) should be enforced by reforming the U.S. legal system along theocratic lines, which would entail a substantial increase in the use of capital punishment. They also believe that that biblical injunctions regarding slavery should be followed.[3][4] Dominionists are, for all intents and purposes, the Christian equivalent of Islamists demanding Sharia law.

Our country was a Christian dictatorship, and I am sure many countries had the same Sharia system at those times. Today this part of our history is a strangely hidden knowledge. Some groups wants it back, and even they do no know the history...

They support Trump who says he is so perfect that he does not need Christ or his forgiveness.
Like today's evangelical/religious right supporters, Trump is a Political Christian, not a Christian of faith.
Evangelicals/religious right are easily able to spin their beliefs for political expediency.
The Donald who does not have to ask Jesus for forgiveness.
