    You need to see this movie.

    Bad Faith has garnered praise for its insightful analysis and timely subject matter. Owen Gleiberman of Variety described it as "one of the scariest films" he's seen in recent years, noting its effective portrayal of how Christian nationalism undermines both constitutional freedoms and the concept of free will . David Reinbold of The Humanist commended the film for being "informative, sobering, chilling, frightening, but always with vestiges of hope," emphasizing its educational value and call to civic engagement .

    Christian Nationalism

    This folks is some scary stuff. They have been setting the wheels in motion for years. I'm not the biggest fan of Biden. But I'm an even lesser fan of MAGA or anyone endorsed by him and his ilk. This documentary is very thorough and exposes these people and their agenda.

    You can rent this on Amazon Prime for a dollar. It's well worth it to see these Christian Nationalists for what they are. They want to completely control everyone and everything. They are like our version of The Taliban. It follows along like Project 2025 without really saying anything about it. It's well done and everyone should watch this. Also ignore the two negative especially the one that says pure propaganda trash, reviews. This was a well done documentary.

    Everyone Should See This

    While I am one of the people who already knew a lot of this stuff (and the reels and reels of information they had to cut I guess for brevity's sake like Barry Goldwater's role in The Southern Strategy and how Reagan expanded it) this documentary needs to be seen by everyone.

    In fact I found it strange that they also didn't mention Project 2025 which is widespread and available for everyone to see, just go to the website to witness the Christian Nationalist terror OPENLY afoot. As of today mainstream media is talking about how Trump Republicans want complete control of the government which is not how our US government is meant to work. We have established checks and balances for a reason, every 10th grader who passed World Civ should know that.

    There's no conspiracy theories here just for information on just how far back this stretches with the Moral Majority in the 70s and 80s. If anything, pertinent information is missing.

    Absolutely sick

    Absolutely sick. Especially the end when Jan 6 occurred and the mother of Ashli Babbitt insurrectionist had the gall to say that Capitol Police murdered her. These were not peaceful protestors. They were armed and were threatening any government official attending an official government ceremony. Instead of mounting legal attacks, MAGA chose lethal attacks. Now we are stuck with an absolutist president. Absolutely sick, that Republican leaders chose to reject all common sense and glorify in the attack on Capitol Police and government employees who may never overcome their physical or mental injuries. Absolutely sick for Republican leaders and influencers to parrot the foul-mouthed cheeto puff who just conned people out of money, just so he can proclaim that he is rich. Trump squandered his father's money, like any other self-important, hedonistic rich kid. And Trump's "blessed" appointed government officials are just that. There is not a shred of decency or Christian piety that can be recognized. They lie behind the Cross, claiming that Republican morality is better than Democrat morality. I am expecting a sequel, especially on Pete Hegseth.

    Totally Misses The Real Threat - Democracy Itself

    It is rather funny how this entire film exposes Stephen Ujlaki's ignorance of how PEACE is derived among mankind. HINT: it's not democracy. Democracy is what has created this ugly binary of competing horror we enjoy today and marginalizes those intellectual heirs of America who DO understand where peace comes from.

    Yes, a powerful force of christian nationalism is indeed a threat, but not TO "democracy" but BECAUSE OF democracy. A democracy that wields power it SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAD. (see America's Counter-Revolution: The Constitution Revisited by Sheldon Richman) If one wanted to end this threat by christian nationalism, one must look seriously at WHY democracy enables it, but this film looks PAST that fact.

    This film could have proposed the cure to their stated problem by proposing the US initiate and pass a Separation of State & Economy amendment which would instantly close the loophole, not just for christian nationalism, but authoritarian nationalism of ANY FLAVOR, and this government would become limited to its original intent - the objective protection of individual rights of every single individual. The entire industry of political lobbying and political news-making would be permanently sidelined because there is no central authoritative power to be bought or brokered.

    Imagine that - no centralized bully in DC or state capitols. A scary thought indeed. Now that is a documentary this creator should take up next!
