Dominionism, in the context of politics and religion, is the tendency among some politically active conservative Christians to seek influence or control over secular civil government through political action, especially in the United States. The goal is either a nation governed by Christians, or a nation governed by a conservative Christian understanding of biblical law.
Put simply, follows of Dominionism believe they have a God-given right to rule. GOP presidential candidates Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry have a history of being affiliated with Christian Reconstructionists, such as Perry’s relationship with New Apostolic Reformation and Bachmann’s relationship to John Eidsmoe, an Oral Roberts University professor, and nationalist historian David Barton who are both Christian Reconstructionists.

The origins of Dominionism – R. J. Rushdoony
Dominionism derives from a small fringe sect called Christian Reconstructionism, founded by a Calvinist theologian named R. J. Rushdoony in the 1960s. According to Rushdoony and other Reconstructionists including Gary North and Greg Bahnsen, the idea of dominion drawn from Genesis 1:28 implied a theonomy (“rule of the law of God”), which would require all citizens to observe the strict Reconstructionist form of Christianity, and which would punish moral sins ranging from blasphemy to homosexuality with death. Rushdoony wrote that “man is summoned to create the society God requires . . . bringing all things under the dominion of Christ the King.”
An integral part of the message put forward by Dominionism is to conquer the seven mountains of society, or the seven mountains of culture, if they are to impact any nation for Jesus Christ. The seven mountains are business, government, media, arts and entertainment, education, the family and religion.
