There will be a free screening of the documentary Bad Faith at the Fogartyville Community Media & Arts Center on Wednesday, October 30. This film is about the rise of Christian Nationalism and will be followed by a discussion led by the award-winning author Nancy MacLean.
Part archival chronicle, part exposé, the film reveals the secretive political machinery that has relentlessly sought to weaken and destroy American democracy in order to promote its authoritarian vision. The cast includes religious leaders, historians, investigative journalists, state senators, political activists, sociologists, and a former high-ranking member of the Trump administration.
The film reveals the man who created the machinery: Paul Weyrich, the theocratic zealot, and masterful political strategist who has escaped the glare of history’s spotlight until now. Weyrich founded the Council For National Policy, which officially doesn’t exist. It operates clandestinely, its membership is secret, and its meetings are closed to outsiders.
With the CNP providing invisibility and vast amounts of money, Weyrich engineered the merger of conservative Evangelicals with the Republican Party into what became an armed Christian Nationalist movement intent on overthrowing democracy. By shedding light on the shadowy underworld of political extremism, the film seeks to awaken citizens to its dangers and inspire them to stand up and show up at the polls.
Nancy MacLean will be the speaker that evening. She is a national authority on the far right and related issues, including the fragility of democracy. See the trailer below.

Thank you for sharing this. After watching this movie, I can see how we as Christians have been manipulated for more than 40 years for a political end. It is certainly obvious here in the Bradenton/Sarasota area
