In this chapter, Paul Kivel notes the privilege Christians possess in society. This is due to Christian dominance through force and the normalization of Christian culture which are disguised as secular or non-Christian. Kivel conceptualizes Christian dominance as Christian hegemony. Christian hegemony has interpersonal and institutional effects. As Christians benefit from Christian hegemony, Kivel calls upon Christians to become allies by providing ways to counter Christian hegemony.
