BAD FAITH:

Christian Nationalism's Unholy War on Democracy

This powerful and disturbing documentary reveals how Christian Nationalism has become one of the most powerful political forces in the nation by spreading fear and anger and distorting political issues into battles between good and evil. Their ultimate goal – highlighted in their Project 2025 manifesto – is the destruction of church-state separation, inclusive religious freedom, LGBTQ+ and women’s rights, inclusive public schools, the rights of religious minorities and nonbelievers and more… all while enshrining their narrow and extremist religious beliefs into law for us to suffer under. see the trailer here.

NOTE: This screening is in-person only and will not be recorded or offered virtually.Read more
