Examining the hate trying to divide us at a ”Bad Faith” movie screening in Westland

Michigan United was out registering voters and listening to opinions at a recent screening of "Bad Faith", a movie about how the Right is trying to use God to divide us through Christian Nationalism. The screening took place at Gethsemane Baptist Church in Westland.


Bad Faith is a full-length documentary that examines how Christian Nationalism threatens American democracy. Combining historical footage with investigative reporting, the film exposes the hidden political strategies aimed at promoting authoritarianism through religion.


The film features religious leaders, historians, state lawmakers, journalists, and political activists. Many of these experts have dedicated their careers to fighting the influence of Christian Nationalism. Through their perspectives, the documentary explores how political and religious forces have fueled division in the country.


Central to the story is Paul Weyrich, a political strategist who founded the Council for National Policy (CNP), a secretive organization. With its backing, Weyrich helped merge conservative Evangelical groups with the Republican Party, creating a movement with the goal of undermining democratic principles.


Bad Faith aims to raise awareness about the dangers of political extremism and encourage citizens to engage in the democratic process by voting.
