God & Country

This film is about the dangers of Christian Nationalism, which isn't Biblical at all, but a political movement to gain more power than Christians already have, at the expense of multiculturalism and other religions (or no religion at all).

For those Christians who have negatively reviewed this documentary based on its content, I have two questions. 1. Do you believe that Trump actually won the 2020 election? 2. And did you want to "stop the steal?" If the answer to those questions is yes, then you are part of the problem this film illustrates. Please try to view it with an open mind. Matthew 7:3-5.

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.

This is a great movie that is very insightful and comprehensive as it shows us the breadth and depth of white Christian nationalism. It is fast-paced and with the highest production values. The low reviews by alt-right trolls prove the point of the movie! This movie will help all of us see the danger of the toxic mix of political theocratic extremism and big-money organizations that do not want democracy to flourish. The betrayal by the Trumpists of the founding principles of our country is done by falsifying our history. The many voices in this movie are virtually all from conservative evangelicals. When "Bob the tomato" says something is unChristian, we have to listen!

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.

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.
