ISIS is to Islam as the KKK is to Christianity

[Anomalocaris]

ISIS is clearly not an Islamic counterpart to the KKK.   The KKK is a secular social pheonomenom that arose from the defeat of the secular south in a secular struggle.   ISIS is a fundamentalist irredentist phenomenon that arose from the defeat of religious creed in the hands of secular modernism.

I wouldn't call the KKK secular. They require you to be a Christian to join. I don't know how that could be called secular.

I agree that it's a poor parallel to ISIS though.

You have effectively been required to be Christian to be a elected official during most of the country’s history.  That doesn’t change the fact that the office is secular.

Rather than implying KKK is a meaningfully Christian organization, the question may be what is it about Christianity that is so attractive to scums and villains.
