History: Aryan Nations is one of the country's best-known enclaves of anti-Semitism and white nationalism. While founded as a Christian Identity outpost, the organization also incorporates neo-Nazi themes; its founder and longtime leader, Richard Girnt Butler, openly adulates Hitler. Aryan Nations has for many years had members in common with several other white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups and that the Aryan Nations compound at Hayden Lake has served as one of the central meeting points and rallying grounds of far-right extremists of all stripes.
Current Location: Hayden, Idaho
Basic Beliefs: White survivalism is of a piece with Aryan Nations' broader Identity beliefs. The group states that God's creation of Adam marked "the placing of the White Race upon this earth."
Acceptability to Mainstream Scoiety: Most people would not accept this type of cult because their members are racist and only believe in the white race. Only few would accpet and join this cult because they are alone and feel like they want to be a part of something.
Other Identification: Aryan Nation Church can also be identified by the Nazi flag or Swastika.
