This is a very scary movie, and the scariest part is that the people it is about will never see themselves in it.

Rated: B+

The most chilling aspect of “Bad Faith” is that, in tracing the roots of the Christian Right, the movie colors in how the dream of theocracy has been the movement’s underlying motivation from almost the start.

Informative, enlightening and frightening. This should be required viewing for all Americans. A wake-up call for a shell-shocked country sleepwalking to disaster.

It gave me significant facts that were unknown to me. And it frightens me. It is a must see, especially throughout our faith communities.

Probably the most important movie of this present season in the life of the United States, and that's not hyperbole.

I watched this film at a special screening in NYC. It is extraordinary. Should be required viewing. Please watch it and host viewing parties with your friends. This is how Germany fell in 1933, how Hungary fell under Orban, and how Putin consolidated power in Russia. Bad Faith shows Christian nationalism in America and its long-game to dismantle our democracy. We're close to the point of no return.
