God & Country

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)

Uncovers the origins of Christian Nationalism and where it sits during the polarized political climate America sits in today. As someone who grew up in a southern Baptist church, I found it helpful to see where this political ideology stemmed from in comparison to my own experiences growing up and now as an adult. Prior to viewing, I already felt the conflation of Christian Nationalism with Christianity is a threat to both democracy and my core religious beliefs - it was refreshing to see I am not going crazy with what is happening. Overall, the documentary had me going back to my Bible to re-assess the teachings of Jesus, and take Christianity back to the gospels/away from politics.

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.

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 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.
