John Collins and McKinnon examine how weaponized religion, particularly white supremacist ideologies, intertwined with early Christian fundamentalism to lay the groundwork for the New Apostolic Reformation. The conversation traces the rise and fall of the Klan’s influence, highlighting Davis’s pivotal role in shifting from overtly militant activities to embedding those ideologies within religious movements for financial gain.
The discussion emphasizes the significant influence of individuals like Gerald Winrod and John Alexander Dowie on Davis and Branham. These figures, known for their controversial and often fraudulent religious activities, provided a template for Davis and Branham’s operations. The transcript reveals how Davis, initially involved in the KKK, transitioned to leading Pentecostal sects, exploiting the financial potential of religious movements. This shift is portrayed as a strategic move to continue propagating supremacist ideologies under the guise of religious revivalism, with Branham eventually adopting and expanding these themes in his own ministry.
