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.

Who would’ve thought that one of the most interesting and entertaining films about today’s culture war would be about Satanists?

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.

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?

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.

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.
