God on their side? Neo-Nazis and religion
https://www.religionlink.com/source-guides/god-on-their-side-neo-nazis-and-religion/

RESOURCE This article by the ReligionLink Editor adds a new perspective on the current culture wars. With the furor over Confederate statues, the parading of swastikas on the streets of Charlottesville and controversial statements about neo-Nazis from President Trump, extremist groups with racist ideologies have come under the microscope. What's there isn't pretty, especially in terms of religion. While the vast majority of religious groups, denominations and leaders have denounced race-based supremacists such as white nationalists, neo-Nazis, Klansmen and the like. Many such groups and their leaders have roots in religion, including Christianity, Islam and Judaism. And the link isn't limited to white groups; there are racially-oriented supremacist, nationalist, and separatist groups that include African Americans, Muslims, and others. This edition of ReligionLink looks at the religious ideology that motivates some racial extremist organizations.
