Early America: Proto Christian Identity.
Due to the Anglo-Virginian belief of Hereditary Heathenism against the nonwhite races, I've just realised the Early British settlers of North America actually practiced an early form of Christian Identity.
While the name did not exist, and these views were rather informal, with rather primitive reasoning/ justification, it covered the four pillars of Christian Identity:
¹ Trinitarian Christianity.
² Whites are Adamic, alone.
³ Adamic (White) Exclusivity.
⁴ Separation from Nons.
Additionally, if you look at the progression of this over the centuries, you find what is strikingly similar to the sub-denomination Christian Aryanism.
To articulate this, Christian Aryanism is modelled on Anglicanism, and heavily inspired by: Early American Puritan/ Anglo-Virginian views, later American Liberal Protestantism, and recent formal American Christian Identity.
Liberal Protestantism (not to be confused with the political position) is a field of enlightenment era Protestantism which takes care to interpret scripture to maintain Christianity, but to take into consideration new scientific knowledge to also maintain intellectual rationalism (i.e. Scientific Christianity).
This Liberal Protestantism is what sparked the vast scientific racism of the 18-19th century America and Europe, as the rational position is no matter how you try to cut, twist, squeeze scripture, you cannot fit non-whites into any of it. Adam born Lake Van West Asia, his descendants spreading from there, Noah's progeny spreading throughout Europe, West Asia and North Africa. Considering human migration, this anthropologically accounts for only Caucasians with perfect correlation, there is simply no room to account for a single non-white race.
Christian Aryanism is actually fairly standard 18-19th century American Liberal Protestantism, with rational views of scientificism, racism, cessationism and preterism; the largest difference being CA is much more formal in these views, putting together a consistent and coherent Catechism of these views.
This rant was less about discussing the intricacies of CI/CA and more about demonstrating the historicity of both Christian Identity and the sub-denomination Christian Aryanism. Both of which have enjoyed a long, rich history in North America, albeit not in name, which I've previously demonstrated was the original Christian position.
