Violent supremacist groups claim to be true Christians despite Christ’s anti-prejudice teachings

Evidence

It is no accident, accordingly, that many violent white-supremacist groups in the United States tend to consider themselves the “true Christians.” From the burning crosses of the Ku Klux Klan to the Church of Jesus Christ Christian (Aryan Nations), extremists present themselves as the true disciples of someone who preached against prejudice and advocated loving thy neighbor. The most prominent white-supremacist groups in South Africa portrayed themselves similarly. — Bob Altemeyer, The Authoritarian Specter, 4177 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
