Kinism is the belief that the divinely ordained social order is tribal and familial as opposed to imperial and propositional.
[1] The term is often used to refer to a "movement of anti-immigrant, 'Southern heritage' separatists who splintered off from Christian Reconstructionism to advocate that God's intended order is 'loving one's own kind' by separating people along 'tribal and ethnic' lines to live in large, extended-family groups.
[3] The Anti-Defamation League notes that "Despite having an explicit, racially centric set of beliefs, Kinists often deny the claim that they are racists.
"[3] The movement is loosely organized and as a result, it does not have a single leader; as of 2003, there were various kinist activists in the United States, many of them had an Internet presence which consisted of websites and blogs.
"[9] In 2019, a synod of the Christian Reformed Church in North America formally condemned kinism and declared it a heresy.
