Bad Faith
On January 6, 2021, invocations to Jesus rang out across the Capitol Mall in Washington D.C. as a violent confusion of forces attempted to overthrow the American government. While armed militiamen and QAnon followers made headlines, the galvanizing force that drove this upheaval was a political movement known as Christian Nationalism. Masquerading as religion, Christian Nationalism has skillfully seduced tens of millions of conservative Evangelicals into blindly following its authoritarian ideology. Its goal is a theocracy that enshrines white, conservative Christian males as the governing elite of a future America. BAD FAITH reveals how Christian Nationalism's hijacking of the Republican Party has given it an unparalleled ability to destroy democracy from within. Perched in the Supreme Court, it has begun to eradicate the civil rights of women, minorities and those who don't share their beliefs. A grassroots coalition of secular and interfaith leaders is rising up to defend our Constitution, but time is running out. In spite of the clear and present danger to our democracy, Americans seem to be unaware of the threat. BAD FAITH hopes to sound the alarm.
