Is Dominion theology the same thing as evangelical Christianity?

And where do Southern Baptists and Mormons fit in?
Very confused by the religious right in this country.

Is it more like ISIS style Caliphate thinking or Iran-style Mahdi-ism
Or maybe BJP style Hindutva?
Patterns seem closest to Iran, except with many preachers instead of 1 Ayatollah
It would be really funny if the US turned into White Iran 🤣

And it does seem very white. I don’t see much political presence of black or Hispanic Christianity here

Eh, it’s close. Lots of evangelicals in the 80s and 90s were against politics at all. The idea is church and state are separate, but as the times have changed more and more evangelicals have adopted the dominion beliefs. Thus trumps prayer with reps from Bethel church, hillsong

some evangelicals are dominionists but others have no desire for temporal authority; many dominionists are evangelicals but others are Catholic

It's one of the threads of it, but they're all pretty much theological supremacism upholding power structures dominated by white men, clothed in whatever theology they find convenient.

No, although evangelical Christianity is a large part of the context from which dominion theology currently arises. Theologically, they are pretty isometric.

Dominionism is a political project that selected from among several southern denominations of Protestantism, but was generally a combo of Baptist, Presbyterian, and charismatic fundamentalists.
