That term doesn't simply embrace allĀ Christians or even all conservative Christians. Just as importantly, it isn't confined to the clergy. It certainly can apply to far right politicians and activists. Broadly speaking, it refers to those who believe that only laws derived from God are valid (and welfare programs and human rights legislation are not derived from God) and Christians are given dominion over the resources of the world to the exclusion of non-believers. If a "lesser magistrate" directs, laws of men can be ignored, even if that involves murder. They really desire a fundamentalist theocracy. I'm thinking that the majority of right-wing leaning Christian folk in NSW wouldn't subscribe to that sort of religious extremism.
I'd hazard a guess that the majority of LNP voting/Right wing leaning/Christian folk in NSW have been double jabbed.
As the article points out, the ultimate aim of the Christian Dominionists, a theocratic State, might be unachievable, but they have influenced far-right thinking and have given moral justification to odious beliefs (e.g. racism and a benevolent view of slavery).
