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

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.

A thorough examination of the rise of white "Christian" nationalism as engineered by conservative Republicans in search of favor and funding from the wealthiest members of our society at the expense of the least of us and our republic. This film documents those efforts and the men and women behind the idea of fomenting a civil war to bring about a "Christian" autocracy and is a 'must see' for those who are still allowed to cast a ballot.

Christian nationalism is full of white hypocrites. Any self proclaimed “Christian “ cannot in good faith support a man like Trump. I will NEVER understand it. If he wants to “grab them by the pussy” he is 100% against the teachings of Jesus. The whole thing is pathetic!

The documentary emphasizes the risk of political influence through faith, but it doesn’t acknowledge the difference between genuine Christian counsel and manipulation. That’s why people like Billy Graham are unfairly caught in the critique if you look only at influence, rather than heart and intent.

4.35. While I knew much of it, I didn't know key aspects, like Paul Weyrich and the Council for National Policy. "Bad Faith" is practically a must-see for anyone who wants to know details about how America's democratic Republic has become under threat.

Was alive back then and it's all true. Please young people, fight for your rights, and vote in all elections. Your local officials may be oppressive, christian nationalists. Vote them out. It's the only barrier between you and violence.
