2. I don't think it's quite that simple.

Dominionism is not a synonym for the religious right; it's a particular subset of the religious right that is made up of people who literally believe they are on a mission from God to establish his kingdom here on earth. Here's a link that explains the basics of their theology: https://www.gotquestions.org/Christian-dominionism.html.

I think it's a vast oversimplification to see this as synonymous with the religious right. Dominionism is part of the religious right, certainly, but not all members of the the religious right are dominionists, and regarding them as all the same is not, imo, helpful in figuring out how to combat either dominionism or the religious right as a whole.
