It depends on which Klan you are speaking. There was the Klan of the Period of Reconstruction which was limited to the States of the Confederacy. This Klan was formed not long after the Civil War was concluded. Nathan Bedford Forrest, a cavalry general during the Civil War, is sometimes considered the organizer of this old Klan.
A new Klan arose in the 1920's and its center was in the North. Two states in particular were heavily involved. The governments of Colorado and Indiana became heavily influenced by the New Klan.
This new Klan added Jews and Roman Catholics to their targets. Of course they had other targeted groups but the two were paramount.
The Old Klan primarily was involved as "night riders" who intimidated former black slaves. They tried terror tactics to keep the new citizens from voting or going about town, day and night, pursuing their own lives. Lynchings and beatings were favorites of the Klan. This Klan came under heavy attack by the Federal Government and was greatly reduced in power and influence.
The Klan claims to be Christian, the old and the new, but to make that claim is preposterous. Saying they are Christian is about like Adolph Hitler claiming to be Christian.

I am a former member and it is a Christian organization, it is not what the media airs to put in peoples heads, it is based on race but does not go do lynchings and such.It is based on true Christianity and is to protect the whites from falling into the immorality of the world

The KKK was founded in 1915 by a man named Joe Simmons.
From what i understand the group calls itself a christian origination.
They are really a Bigoted group of loose-rs who bash others to make themselves feel Superior.
Not only blacks, but gays Jews also are targeted by them.As well as many others.
