Origin of the term
Dominionism is most often used to describe politically active conservative Christians, mostly Calvinist in orientation, with a specific agenda. The term is rarely used as a self-description; many feel it is a loaded or [[pejorative]] term, and use of the term is primarily limited to critics of the Christian Right on the political left. [[Leftist]] commonly assign the pejoritive label ''"Christer"'' to those they percieve as being ''"Dominionists"''.
