Mattias Gardell claims that while older American racist groups are Christian and patriotic ([[Christian Identity]]), there is a younger generation of [[white supremacism|white supremacists]] who have rejected both Christianity and mainstream right-wing movements.<ref name="Kaplan 1997">Kaplan 1997.</ref> Many neo-Nazis have also left Christianity for neopaganism because of Christianity's Jewish roots and patriotism in favour of Odinism because they view both Christianity and the United States government as responsible for what they see as the evils of a liberal society and the [[White genocide conspiracy theory|decline of the white race]].<ref>Gardell 2001.</ref> Kaplan claims that there is a growing interest in one form of Odinism among members of the radical racist right-wing movements.<ref name="Kaplan 1997"/> Berger judges that there has been an aggregation of both racist and non-racist groups under the heading of Odinism which has confused the discussion about neo-Nazi neopagans and which has led most non-racist Germanic neopagans to favour terms like Ásatrú or Heathenry over Odinism.<ref>Berger 2005: 45.</ref> Thus, the 1999 [[Project Megiddo]] report issued by the [[FBI]] used Odinism as referring to white supremacist groups exclusively, sparking protests by the [[International Asatru-Odinic Alliance]], Stephen McNallen expressing concern about a "pattern of anti-[[European-American]] actions".<ref>[http://www.cesnur.org/testi/FBI_007.htm CESNUR] (Center for Studies on New Religions) news release, 10 November 1999.</ref>
== ''Tempelhofgesellschaft'' ==
The older ''Tempelhofgesellschaft'' (THG) was built in the 1980s by a few members of the Nazi Erbengemeinschaft der Tempelritter. The leader of this group was the former police officer Hans-Günter Fröhlich, who resided in Germany/Homburg. The group had close links to the German-speaking far-right network. Its first publication was ''Einblick in die magische Weltsicht und die magischen Prozesse'' (1987).<ref name="Strube, 2012">Strube, 2012</ref>
▲By [[Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke]] NYU Press {{ISBN|9780814732373}} [https://books.google.com/books?id=ZWAslJvCK3IC&pg=PA164&dq=Tempelhofgesellschaft+gnosticism&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjh0arRib3RAhVhwlQKHaHVAqoQ6AEILDAD#v=onepage&q=Tempelhofgesellschaft%20gnosticism&f=false]</ref> This one was a part of the main THG/Homburg. The group identifies an "evil creator of this world", the [[Demiurge]] with [[Jehovah]], the God of [[Judaism]] and holds that [[Jesus Christ]] was an [[Aryan]], not Jewish. They distribute pamphlets claiming that the [[Aryan race]] originally came to [[Root race#The civilization of Atlantis|Atlantis]] from the star [[Aldebaran]] (this information is supposedly based on "ancient [[Sumer]]ian manuscripts"). They maintain that the Aryans from Aldebaran derive their power from the [[vril]] energy of the [[Black Sun (occult symbol)|Black Sun]]. They teach that since the Aryan race is of [[extraterrestrial life|extraterrestrial]] origin it has a divine mission to dominate all the other races. It is believed by adherents of this religion that an enormous space fleet is on its way to Earth from Aldebaran which when it arrives will join forces with the [[Nazi UFOs|Nazi Flying Saucers from Antarctica]] to establish the Western Imperium.<ref name="Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke 2002"/><ref name="Strube, 2012"/> Its major publication is called ''Das Vril-Projekt'' (1992). After the THG had been dissolved, Ralf Ettl founded the ''Freundeskreis'' (circle of friends) Causa Nostra. It remains active and maintains relations to far-right publishers like the Swiss Unitall-Verlag.<ref name="Strube, 2012"/>
