BAD Faith: Christian Nationalism’s Unholy War on Democracy
Riverside will screen a film about the rise and dominance of Christian Nationalism, on Thursday, Oct. 17 at 6:30 PM.
The film’s producers say the film explores how Christian Nationalist leaders have spread fear and anger for decades, distorting political issues into biblical battles between god and evil. “Financed through the secretive Council for National Policy, Christian Nationalists have succeeded in taking over the Republican Party, turning it into a powerful weapon to demolish democracy from within,” the producers write.
“The film introduces us to the grassroots coalition of secular and interfaith leaders who have bravely confronted the forces that are threatening democracy, Pastor Vicky says. “The film’s message is a timely one, as we near our November election.
Ken Burns, a documentary film maker called i, “A great and powerful and timely film, filled with the dread this moment engenders; the cynical misuse of religion to advance aims of diametrically the opposite of Christianity’s mission.”
There is no charge, and donations are welcome. This screening is sponsored by Riverside, Bethel Congregational Church in White Salmon and Spirit of Grace in Hood River.
