Oh lawd!
Of course, both are actually take inspiriation from real life, and no, not the KKK. They again take inspiration from an actual organization older than they.

At any rate, I wonder which influenced GOI? Pointy hats and halberds fir the palpal knights of hellsing to a T, but that's not to say it's what they're using as inspiration.
Speculation on pointy hats hooooo!

Nice! The scant background we have on them does seem like it could be pretty polarized, but it's curious they're involving religion in it.
