Christian Identity (also known as Identity Christianity) is a Nordicist interpretation of Christianity which advocates the belief that the Germanic including the Anglo-Saxon, Nordic and kindred peoples are the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and hence the descendants of the ancient Israelites (primarily as a result of the Assyrian captivity). CI is not an organized religion; instead, it is independently practiced by individuals, churches and some prison gangs. Its theology promotes a racial interpretation of Christianity. Christian Identity beliefs were primarily developed and promoted by two authors who regarded Europeans as the "chosen people" and Jews as the cursed offspring of Cain, the "serpent hybrid" or serpent seed (a belief known as the two-seedline doctrine). White supremacist sects and gangs later adopted many of these teachings.
Christian Identity dictates that all non-whites (people not of wholly European descent) on the planet will either be exterminated or enslaved in order to serve the White race in the new Heavenly Kingdom on Earth under the reign of Jesus Christ. CI doctrine states that non-whites can never achieve salvation or paradise, instead it states that only "Adamic" (white people) can achieve salvation and paradise.
Adherents of Christian Identity refer to non-whites as "mamzers" or "tares".
