Kinism is a form of traditional conservative Christianity. The term 'Kinist' was coined in opposition to what members of the movement view as neo-Babelists, progressive Christians that advocate miscegenation, globalism, and the New World Order. Kinists see this as rebuilding the Tower of Babel. Kinism is defined as the belief that the ordained social order for man is tribal and ethnic rather than imperial and universal. According to Kinists, mankind was designed by God to live in extended family groups. They believe equality is destructive, is antithetical to liberty, and is ultimately unachievable, and that blood ties are the only natural and workable basis for a healthy society not subject to the ideologies of fallen man. Kinists believe that when God dispersed mankind at the Tower of Babel, he segregated each race into their own respective lands. Further, Kinists believe each racial group are the creators and heirs to their corresponding language and culture. They consider themselves followers of the Presbyterian minister R. L. Dabney, who was a chaplain in the Confederate army. They are strict Sabbatarians and are paleoconservative, only they reject capitalism in favor of "covenantal agrarian" economics. Like the Reconstructionists, Kinists claim to be indebted to Reformed apologist, Cornelius Van Til, who argued that the Bible contains a self-vindicating system of knowledge.
