Ben Sachs Chicago Reader The movie provides valuable food for thought about the role of religion in American society. Mar 11, 2020 Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald This engrossing documentary illuminates numerous facets of an outre circus with a serious purpose. Nov 7, 2019 Full Review Claudia Puig FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) A very witty, smart, eye-opening and entertaining documentary. Sep 27, 2019 Full Review Rocco T. Thompson Rue Morgue Magazine In these irrational times, perhaps more followers of the fork-tongued cloven-hoofed infernal one are just what we need, and the hilarious and timely Hail Satan? might just do the trick.

Tandem T This entertaining film features a group of activists fighting against the erosion of church and state in America. If this topic interests you, you may also be interested in watching the docuseries, The Family, and the documentaries Reversing Roe and Zurawski v Texas. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/05/24 Full Review DineshKumar C Satanism- Provoke for attention.. Seduce with forbidden fantasies.. U submit willingly.. At the end u sin they don't. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review dennis d Of course the devil is made to look fun and cute and make christians seem like hypocrites and crazy. The fundamental belief in Christianity is self sacrifice. Satanism is worship of the self. We are already seeing what a country full of people that worship themselves looks like. Making light of this topic is disturbing. I'm sure you all think I'm crazy tho because I'm not kissing this films ass and bashing crazy christians huh? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/24 Full Review Alex B I loved it! This movie changed how I looked at the separation of church and state, in the fact that it is not. And I am happy there is an organization that is challenging this, even if there ways of doing so is not what would be expected. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/20/23 Full Review Cowni F A super entertaining, humorous look at a (mostly) endearing and misunderstood group fighting for separation of church and state by trying to expose the hypocrisy of christianity-fueled American politics. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review quinton w when those grew up under Christian suppression learnt to be critical thinkers and free Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
