Christopretensism is the new word I just learned. So descriptive!

11. Roy Moore, Christocrat

More fuel for the fire.

(RNS) "For Christocrats, the sovereignty of God transcends the supremacy of the Constitution."

(RNS) — "Former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, that state’s controversial Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate, has a long record as a religious right zealot.

Moore has been suspended twice from the state Supreme Court, for refusing to remove a Ten Commandments statue from state grounds and for refusing to obey the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling legalizing same-sex marriages.

Because of his beliefs and actions, Moore has been labeled a theocrat. But I prefer a different and more precise term — “Christocrat” — to describe Moore and other politicians who share similar views.

A Christocrat believes America was once “the shining city on the hill” but has in recent decades lost its moral, political, cultural and religious moorings. Christocrats believe a radical transformation is necessary for the United States to fulfill its God-ordained “manifest destiny” and be saved from the evil secular humanists who seek to destroy “Christian America.” "

I think this article explains well the characteristic traits of the Christocrat movement. What's scary to me is that this article is nine years old. It just goes to show that evil people make plans.
