St. Marks. He later stresses the influence of German writers like Nietzsche. But he credits religion as his/our real foundation. He encourages people to have ...

So Spencer himself seems to feel that his childhood Christianity and white authoritarianism are quite related.

He doesn't stress that here. But he mentions it briefly, as even foundational.
