American Vision is a Christian Right group founded by Gary DeMar.

Supports the execution of gays

• While DeMar says that homosexuals will not be rounded up and systematically executed under a "reconstructed" government, he does believe that the occasional execution of "sodomites" would serve society well, because "the law that requires the death penalty for homosexual acts effectively drives the perversion of homosexuality underground, back into the closet." (1)
• "The Bible doesn't say that homosexuals ought to be executed. What it says is this: If two men lie together like man and woman, they are to be put to death." - Gary DeMar (2)

Supports the execution of people who provide abortions

• DeMar has stated that "long-term goal" should be "the execution of abortionists and parents who hire them." (1)

Against Social Programs for the Poor

• "Nowhere in the Bible is civil government given authority to help the poor by raising taxes on the rich." - Gary DeMar

Hate Group

• American Vision is a Hate Group according to the SPLC. (3)
