God & Country

I absolutely support the points of this film, but it meanders. The viewer needs more milestones and takeaways.

I suppose the lack of a narrator is an attempt by the filmmakers to stand back and let the film speak for itself, but the viewer can easily get lost. I say this as someone who was NOT lost but only because I'm a topic expert, having worked for separation of church and state.

Ultimately, who is the audience for this? The film is too hard hitting to convince religious people, and it's not accessible enough to draw in new secular people.

So I'll give a 10 for the topic, but dial it down to 8 for the actual impact of this film.

This is a great movie that is very insightful and comprehensive as it shows us the breadth and depth of white Christian nationalism. It is fast-paced and with the highest production values. The low reviews by alt-right trolls prove the point of the movie! This movie will help all of us see the danger of the toxic mix of political theocratic extremism and big-money organizations that do not want democracy to flourish. The betrayal by the Trumpists of the founding principles of our country is done by falsifying our history. The many voices in this movie are virtually all from conservative evangelicals. When "Bob the tomato" says something is unChristian, we have to listen!

This is a timely and well done documentary. It's unfortunate that the same people who believe in Christian Nationalism are also the people who believe every conspiracy theory and Qanon. There are many reasons those circles overlap. Hopefully more people will watch this film. I do wish it was free though. More people would watch it and it is needed.

Christians that have mixed politics and power with Jesus need to examine why they need a country so fascist that everyone else is required to believe and act as the Christians require.

Abortion was not a protestant issue until the unholy marriage of the televangelist and corporations needed to pull the right under just a few ideas. It was a Catholic issue and belief that the Mother has little value.

Christian Nationalism is the antithesis of what the Deist founding Father's envisioned when they left the toil and strife of religious turmoil behind on the shores of Europe.

Love how the trolls that rated the documentary low...many have not watched it. They are afraid it may shake their belief system to its core by challenging the worst aspects of its tenants.

Are all Christians bad? No. Are all Christian Nationalist bed for this country? Yes.

It doesn't take a genius to realize that Christian Nationalism (like any other religious nationalism, for example in Iran) is dangerous, because almost nothing can be more dangerous for a country than when it's ruled by people who are 100% convinced that they were chosen by none other than the Creator of the Universe himself to fix the world. And fixing the world means forcing their religion on all people. Christian nationalists believe in an angry, vengeful god who does not tolerate dissent and is eager to punish Humanity. Since God is not here to personally do it, his followers will do his job for him. Christian nationalists want to placate the wrath of their god, by imposing his will, which, in the case of this deity, is written in a heap of copies of rags of parchments from the Iron Age, with myths also from the Bronze Age.

I recommend the book "Liberated from Religion", by Paulo Bitencourt, which brilliantly exposes this great danger.

This film is about the dangers of Christian Nationalism, which isn't Biblical at all, but a political movement to gain more power than Christians already have, at the expense of multiculturalism and other religions (or no religion at all).

For those Christians who have negatively reviewed this documentary based on its content, I have two questions. 1. Do you believe that Trump actually won the 2020 election? 2. And did you want to "stop the steal?" If the answer to those questions is yes, then you are part of the problem this film illustrates. Please try to view it with an open mind. Matthew 7:3-5.
