I've seen this being chattered about at the John Birch Society's New American publication, seeking to tie religion into political and social action. I don't know if they are a distinct sect, but it seems pretty culty to me:
http://www.blackrobereg.org/
The Black Robe Regiment is a resource and networking entity where church leaders and laypeople can network and educate themselves as to our biblical responsibility to stand up for our Lord and Savior and to protect the freedoms and liberties granted to a moral people in the divinely inspired US Constitution. The Regiment had its historical beginnings during the Revolutionary War when Pastors from across the colonies arose and lead their congregations into the battle for freedom. Unlike today, the church during this time served as the center-point for political debate and discussion on the relevant news of the day. Today's church leaders have all but lost that concept of leading their congregations in a Godly manner in all aspects of their worldly existence and are afraid to speak out against the progressive agenda that has dominated our political system for the past century. Through this time the church and God himself has been under assault, marginalized, and diminished by the progressives and secularists. The false wall of separation of church and state has been constructed in such a manner that most are unaware of its limited boundaries. The church and the body of Christ has been attacked on all fronts and challenged by the progressive courts and groups such as the ACLU while we have sat idle in consent.

The time has come that we must now arise and awaken to the danger of this hyper-progressive agenda that so permeates every aspect of our political, legal, and educational systems. It is time now to educate ourselves and push back against the erosion of our freedoms and liberties and restore the constitutional authority back to all aspects of our governance. It will take the leaders of our churches to shepherd their flocks as did their predecessors during our first fight for liberty.

It is in this spirit that we have created this site. It is to serve as a resource and reference for church leaders and laypeople alike. It is to be a portal for Christians to communicate and network in order to restore the body of Christ to its rightful position of tolerant leadership in all aspects of our government.

They certainly have some points to a certain extent, but aren't church and government separate entities?
 
For context, and without straying too far into the p-word, this group appears to be against a provision of the U.S. tax code that prohibits non-profit organizations - like churches - from endorsing or speaking against political candidates. They see this as a restriction of their right as religious leaders to promote traditional Christian values. Because of their views, they are sometimes seen as Christian Nationalists. I will not express an opinion about their views, nor do I recommend anyone else do so, considering the rules of this forum.

It looks like the site has been up for many years, but the link to their internal social network is dead. Make of that what you will.
 
A video up about the movement from this summer (2022) by the conservative religious Dr James Dobson group. I'm guessing thry are cloaking their current beliefs with history to oromote the illusion of legitimacy:
 
The Catholic Schools are closing in record numbers in the last few years.
If I had young children, they would be enrolled in private schooling, no public schools and no religious schools.
