[[Scientific racism]], sometimes termed biological racism or racialism, the [[Pseudoscience|pseudoscientific belief]] that empirical evidence exists to support or justify racism, is the core tenet of Christian Identity, and most CI adherents are white nationalists who advocate [[racial segregation]] and the imposition of [[anti-miscegenation laws]].{{Citation needed|date=July 2024}} Some CI adherents also believe that Jews are genetically compelled to carry on a [[White genocide conspiracy theory|conspiracy against the Adamic seedline]] by their Satanic or Edomite ancestry and they also believe that the Jews of today have achieved almost complete control of the Earth through their claim to hold the white race's status as God's chosen people.<ref>{{cite web|last=Comparet|first=Bertrand|title=Who are the Jews?|url=http://www.churchoftrueisrael.com/comparet/who-are-jews.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070225125047/http://www.churchoftrueisrael.com/comparet/who-are-jews.html|archive-date=February 25, 2007|access-date=February 1, 2021|website=Church of True Israel}}</ref>{{Primary source inline|date=July 2024}}

Identity adherents also assert that [[disease]], [[addiction]], [[cancer]], and [[sexually transmitted infection]]s ([[herpes]] and [[HIV/AIDS]]) are spread by human "rodents" via contact with "unclean" persons, such as "race-mixers". The [[apocrypha]], particularly [[Book of Enoch|the first book of Enoch]], is used to justify these social theories; the fallen angels of Heaven sexually desired Earth maidens and took them as wives, resulting in the birth of [[Abomination (Bible)|abominations]], which God ordered [[Michael the Archangel]] to destroy, thus beginning a cosmic war between Light and Darkness. The mixing of separate things (e.g., [[Race (human categorization)|people of different races]]) is seen as defiling all of them, and it is also considered a violation of God's law.{{Sfn|Aho|1990|pp=85–86}}
