There are lots of Christians affected by dominionism, which I understand to be Christians invading major areas of society on behalf of the kingdom of God.
I don't necessarily believe the kingdom will come as they say, but don't see how their ideas should be of concern to you. Radical movements in Christianity come and go like the wind.
Approx. half of evangelical Christians are full-gospel pentecostals, of various strains. Many cast out demons and wage spiritual warfare. How is that any different than the book of Acts?
