BAD FAITH explores the dangerous rise of Christian Nationalism in the United States. 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 and a former high-ranking member of the Trump administration. Several have dedicated their lives to challenging Christian Nationalism’s theocratic vision for America and the film chronicles their actions. By shedding light on the shadowy underworld of politIcal extremism, BAD FAITH seeks to awaken citizens to its dangers and inspire them to stand up and show up at the polls.
