The reduction of Christianity into just another political group feels like a dilution, a conversion of wine into water.

Distinguished by stirring photography, empathetic interviewing, and a shrewd sense of who to let talk and who to cut off.

The film becomes a hodgepodge that will enlighten few viewers.

...if [Garriga's] portrait of American Christianity is not representative, it certainly is interesting, taking Americans as well as foreigners to many places they have probably not been before.

A less preachy Religulous, but just as outrageously entertaining.

Fairly interesting. I felt it was unbalanced, but I guess that was the point. Christianity and pop culture are an explosive mix at times. I don't regret watching this, but I don't feel I learned a whole lot either.

The focus on the fringe iterations and too much of Frank Schaeffer make this pretty unbalanced. The wise, level-headed figures and genuine dialogue get lost amidst the Vegas stripper ministry 'Treasures', etc.

A bit too superficial, but an interesting introduction to all the wackos (and some of the reasonably level-headed folks) behind Christianity in the USA these days
