Editing Destiny Church (New Zealand) (section)

===Political and religious views===
On his website "New Zealand: A Nation Under Siege" (bishoptamaki.org.nz) Tamaki declared the government of New Zealand to be "inherently evil",<ref>[http://www.bishoptamaki.org.nz/FAQ.htm#A_Government_gone_Evil "A Government gone Evil"]. bishoptamaki.org.nz. Retrieved 2005. {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051230110751/http://www.bishoptamaki.org.nz/FAQ.htm#A_Government_gone_Evil |date=30 December 2005 }}</ref> pointing out that some members of Parliament chose not to swear on the Bible, and one ([[Ashraf Choudhary]]) swore on the [[Qur'an]], when being sworn into government. In a June 2005 interview, Tamaki said Destiny was ready to wage war on "secular humanism, liberalism, relativism, pluralism", on "a Government gone evil", on the "modern-day witchcraft" of the media, and on the "radical homosexual agenda".<ref name="NZ_Herald_10331506">{{cite web |url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/index.cfm?c_id=1&ObjectID=10331506 |title=Bishop fulfils his destiny |author=Crewdson, Patrick |date=19 June 2005 |work=[[The New Zealand Herald]] |accessdate=28 September 2011}}</ref>

On 21 June 2025, Tamaki led a Destiny Church march in [[Auckland]]'s [[Aotea Square]] called "Faith, Flag and Family," which opposed non-[[Christian]] religions and mass immigration in New Zealand. Tamaki and his supporters denounced the [[Muslim]], [[Buddhist]], [[Sikh]] and [[Palestinian]] communities, burning flags representing those communities. Pro-Palestinian counter-demonstrators also gathered in Aotea Square, with Police separating the two groups. Two Destiny supporters also intimidated a journalist from ''[[The New Zealand Herald]]''.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Lyth |first1=Jaime |title=Destiny Church's Brian Tamaki protests against 'foreign' religions in NZ |url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/destiny-churchs-brian-tamaki-protests-foreign-religions-in-auckland/OQXMFSTJPJBBBKFWEMAATEISJQ/ |access-date=21 June 2025 |work=[[The New Zealand Herald]] |date=21 June 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250621212440/https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/destiny-churchs-brian-tamaki-protests-foreign-religions-in-auckland/OQXMFSTJPJBBBKFWEMAATEISJQ/ |archive-date=21 June 2025 |url-status=live}}</ref>
