GOD & COUNTRY looks at the implications of Christian Nationalism and how it distorts not only our constitutional republic, but Christianity itself. Featuring prominent Christian thought leaders, GOD & COUNTRY asks this question: What happens when a faith built on love, sacrifice, and forgiveness grows political tentacles, conflating power, money, and belief into hyper-nationalism?

Critics Consensus

God & Country offers a chilling and bracingly effective look at political forces aligning in an effort to erase the barrier between church and state.

In the end, however, the unpleasant truth is that there's not a lot to see here that you can't absorb by going down a Wikipedia rabbit hole or watching "The Daily Show" or "Last Week Tonight" or Rachel Maddow.

A bracing primer on the rise of this political movement that should thoroughly scare the large majority of American adults who don’t embrace it.

The film’s insights about the role of religion in politics feel especially well-informed because many of its commentators draw on their own personal and professional experiences with the Christian church. They’re believers, too, and they’re worried.

Dan Partland’s fierce, fighting-trim [film] asks, what happens when faith becomes a weapon in the form of Christian nationalism, and what is endangered then. (Religion; nation.)

It’s commendable that the film takes this problem seriously and practically, providing a sense of hope for those of us given to despair.

As an individual who was raised as a conservative Catholic, is increasingly alarmed at the rise of Christian nationalism and Donald Trump, and the combined impacts on the United States as a constitutional republic, I found this documentary to be simultaneously insightful, informative, and alarming. Without spoiling too much of the plot, this documentary walks viewers through the history and rise of Christian nationalism in the United States going back several decades, puts everything in context, involves interviews with notable players in the evangelical and journalistic communities, and even includes a constitutional legal analysis of the First Amendment as it relates to religious freedom and the intent of the Founding Fathers, as well as the risks which Christian nationalism poses to American democracy. This documentary is absolutely worth watching if you are alarmed at all at the increasing dysfunction in the United States Congress (both House and Senate) and the actions of politicians such as Speaker Mike Johnson, considering his ardent belief in the Seven Mountain Mandate.

Very well done! Appreciate the people in the movie are all religious and constitution experts, most being conservative Christians, ensuring this is not an attack on Christianity, not just from a singular liberal view, but instead is a revealing picture of the political motives of Christian Nationalism over the last 50+ years. The bombshells and eye opening revelations are both frightening and empowering against the threat to democracy and Christianity as a whole!

This documentary was done well. Scary as hell, though! I loved that the theatre was more than half full.

4.55. If you thought you knew everything about the Christian nationalist threat to America, you may be surprised.
