God & Country: a Film Directed by Dan Partland


I'm watching "God & Country" on Tubi. It's a show about Christian Nationalism directed by Dan Partland. I also saw Rob Reiner as one of the producers of this film.
 
I'll be honest, it's terrifying how any sort of Christianity has morphed into this political machinery. Christianity is no longer about the belief system and the value of the religion, but is now about power and politics. The amount of money spent on revving people up to a political fervor and on creating a fear of secularism is terrifying. 
 
Is Christian Nationalism Christian?
I don't think so. it's not based on the values of the gospels or the culture of Christianity. But, rather, on a violent Jesus, a warrior Jesus...all of which brings on political violence.
There is no way you can look at what is going on and call it Christian. Humanity and the democracy are both in direct danger because of this movement. This movement condones VIOLENCE to get their messages across. We've all seen the increase of American Conservative religious-based violence in the past five years.
 
And it is all based on myths, fear, anger, and disinformation. One of the first and major mythologies spread by this movement is the belief that our country was created and based on a Judeo-Christian ethic. You can read in ANY secular and accurate history book that our brilliant and brave founding fathers created this nation free of an from religion as they were escaping a religious-based religion in England.
 
I'm convinced that most people who are swept up in the fervor will regret their actions very soon as our nation falls into decay and absolute craziness, all kinds of things that have nothing to do with religion or their belief system and everything to do with oligarchical power, authoritarianism, and racism.

There is NO historical example where a religious government was successful or anything other than dangerous. And our nation has embraced Christian Nationalism which is violence.
