The Family on Netflix warned us years ago.

So is this the shadowy deep state I keep hearing "conservatives" bleating about?

Secret organization of Christians? Christians (at least those from Roman Catholic Church) are banned from being members of any secret groups or organizations under the threat of being excommunicated. So by the definition they are no longer Christians. They are simply wealthy people caring for their own agendas.

The title is bullshit…

While what you're saying is true, these are mostly Protestants, so they pick and choose what to follow from their own religion or ignore.

You don't really think all Christians are Roman Catholic, do you?

I was raised a Southern Baptist (excommunicated myself) and no one ever told me I couldn't be in a secret organization. Evangelical Christian definitely don't believe this.
