That’s because historically, movies are generally satanic.

Sound of Freedom is about God’s children.

The church we have been going to has “community groups” as a backbone. It is a bit awkward at first but we were made to feel welcome at the start. It does take some time to really open up though. But we have always tried to involve ourselves in them.

And I never expect a church or the fellow believers to believe everything that I believe. Other than the main three or four “beliefs”.

Although when it comes to the church leadership I DO expect them to have some beliefs that are not part of the actual “Statement of Faith”. No gay pride flags, speak up for the sanctity of life, no BLM or Critical Race Theory, .... Our current pastor did a 3-hour long podcast on CRT and its origins, why it was developed (in Germany in the early last century iirc, to destroy the family unit), etc.

Because they are liberal social clubs and not churches.

Churches today have Progressed to such a high level of secularism you would be hard pressed to find a congregation that isn’t.

The church was intended for “believers” not unblievers....the church was called to ‘go out’ and preach the gospel message. ...instead the church invites them in and thn wonders what happened.
