God & Country

This is a timely and well done documentary. It's unfortunate that the same people who believe in Christian Nationalism are also the people who believe every conspiracy theory and Qanon. There are many reasons those circles overlap. Hopefully more people will watch this film. I do wish it was free though. More people would watch it and it is needed.

Christians that have mixed politics and power with Jesus need to examine why they need a country so fascist that everyone else is required to believe and act as the Christians require.

Abortion was not a protestant issue until the unholy marriage of the televangelist and corporations needed to pull the right under just a few ideas. It was a Catholic issue and belief that the Mother has little value.

Christian Nationalism is the antithesis of what the Deist founding Father's envisioned when they left the toil and strife of religious turmoil behind on the shores of Europe.

Love how the trolls that rated the documentary low...many have not watched it. They are afraid it may shake their belief system to its core by challenging the worst aspects of its tenants.

Are all Christians bad? No. Are all Christian Nationalist bed for this country? Yes.

A lot of butt-hurt negative reviews from Christian Nationalists here. If someone is simply a Christian, they would not feel attacked by this documentary and recognize the clear and present danger that Nationalism is to their faith and to a secular democratic republic. The documentary does a great job highlighting exactly how (white) Christian Nationalism is an insidious danger and fast-tracking our way to an authoritarian theocracy. Recent Current Events make this film timely and necessary. Multiple experts interviewed in the film did a great job emphasizing that Christian Nationalism is NOT Christian. My hope is that this film will reach indecisive voters (MAGA is too far gone)

I absolutely support the points of this film, but it meanders. The viewer needs more milestones and takeaways.

I suppose the lack of a narrator is an attempt by the filmmakers to stand back and let the film speak for itself, but the viewer can easily get lost. I say this as someone who was NOT lost but only because I'm a topic expert, having worked for separation of church and state.

Ultimately, who is the audience for this? The film is too hard hitting to convince religious people, and it's not accessible enough to draw in new secular people.

So I'll give a 10 for the topic, but dial it down to 8 for the actual impact of this film.

This is a necessary and important documentary. The participants are Christian Evangelical historians, pastors, and authors that explain the history of Christian Nationalism and how it currently affects the democracy of the United States. It shows us what Christian Nationalists believe, who they hate, what they want the country to look like, and how they want to get there using their own words. The footage of them talking about Trump and 1/6 is chilling. People of any faith and those without should watch this and take the words, actions, and beliefs very seriously. They want to dismantle democracy.

Stewart's book is must read! The film deviates from the book in it importantly examines the effect negative effect Christian nationalism has on Christianity. While this is very important, thought more focus on the impact to democracy. Woukd have be valuable to those wanting to learn more about this movement. That said the thoughts of David French and Russel Moore are important to understanding the film does a good job with the difficult job of revealing the disguise of Christian nationalism'a use of religion to organize a political movement. If you are a fan of the Orange Jesus you will hate this film. If you are confused by how so many devout Evangelicals could support OJ this will help provide a perspective.
