According to the League, Southern society differs greatly from what it sees as the Marxist and egalitarian society lacking "any grace or charm" that its "alien [American] occupier" seeks to "impress upon it."[7] Southern culture, for the League, is based strictly on the Bible. The League's Core Beliefs Statement also notes that Southern culture "stigmatizes perversity", such as homosexuality and promiscuity.[7] In the words of Michael Hill "the League of the South is not a “neo-Confederate” or “Southern heritage” organization, although we certainly do honor our ancestors and our largely Christian historic inheritance as Southerners. The League is a present- and future-oriented Southern Nationalist organization that seeks the survival, well being, and independence of the Southern people.
