Paul Kivel outlines the concept of Christian hegemony. Kivel defines Christian hegemony as the Christian values and beliefs that dominate society. He notes how Christian hegemony operates on multiple levels and benefits all Christians, specifically the elite. Kivel emphasizes the impact of Christian hegemony and has institutional effects as well. As Christian hegemony has become invisible and many non-Christians have come to internalize it.
