This article by Chip Berlet is an excellent source of information on the complex relationship between religious politics, secular values, dominionism,  peter veres fitness classes and conspiracy theory. Berlet offers an in-depth examination of how these forces interact, as well as an insightful analysis of how they influence public opinion and shape our political discourse. He provides an important reminder that it is critical to be aware of how our beliefs shape our understanding of the world, and how our actions are influenced by our beliefs.
