Bad Faith: Christian Nationalism's Unholy War on Democracy

And that is where the problem lies. Reasoning skills and critical thought. The American education system needs an overhaul of full thought intervention. Children need to learn empathy, reasoning skills, and how to detect lie from truth.

This documentary sheds a lot of light on the Christian Nationalist infiltration of the republican party. How it continues to mold those who cannot/will not pull themselves back and view the world in a different lens.

I especially enjoyed seeing the Christians of our country truely following the word of Jesus condemn and shame those with manipulative intent to gain power and suppression through their very own religion.

This documentary is one that should be spoken and watched with family members and friends who are stuck in that right wing thought tunnel.

It is rather funny how this entire film exposes Stephen Ujlaki's ignorance of how PEACE is derived among mankind. HINT: it's not democracy. Democracy is what has created this ugly binary of competing horror we enjoy today and marginalizes those intellectual heirs of America who DO understand where peace comes from.

Yes, a powerful force of christian nationalism is indeed a threat, but not TO "democracy" but BECAUSE OF democracy. A democracy that wields power it SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAD. (see America's Counter-Revolution: The Constitution Revisited by Sheldon Richman) If one wanted to end this threat by christian nationalism, one must look seriously at WHY democracy enables it, but this film looks PAST that fact.

This film could have proposed the cure to their stated problem by proposing the US initiate and pass a Separation of State & Economy amendment which would instantly close the loophole, not just for christian nationalism, but authoritarian nationalism of ANY FLAVOR, and this government would become limited to its original intent - the objective protection of individual rights of every single individual. The entire industry of political lobbying and political news-making would be permanently sidelined because there is no central authoritative power to be bought or brokered.

Imagine that - no centralized bully in DC or state capitols. A scary thought indeed. Now that is a documentary this creator should take up next!

While I am one of the people who already knew a lot of this stuff (and the reels and reels of information they had to cut I guess for brevity's sake like Barry Goldwater's role in The Southern Strategy and how Reagan expanded it) this documentary needs to be seen by everyone.

In fact I found it strange that they also didn't mention Project 2025 which is widespread and available for everyone to see, just go to the website to witness the Christian Nationalist terror OPENLY afoot. As of today mainstream media is talking about how Trump Republicans want complete control of the government which is not how our US government is meant to work. We have established checks and balances for a reason, every 10th grader who passed World Civ should know that.

There's no conspiracy theories here just for information on just how far back this stretches with the Moral Majority in the 70s and 80s. If anything, pertinent information is missing.

I saw this thing on Facebook and then a lady recommended it so I started watching it on my break at work. I couldn't finish it until I got home. It did make me mad at first. It also proved my point about Donald Trump, his supporters and his backers. These people aren't Christians but they used Christ for their agendas which has nothing to do with Christ. Christ isn't about hate and fear! He's not about making you wealthy from lies and corruption! This documentary proves that these folks that follow trump doesn't care about truth or Christ! I believe that everybody should watch this because it proves that the same ideas of today are the same ideas from the past! The reason never changes just the people! The idea never changes just the people!
