Rob Reiner’s God and Country documentary has been quite the signal by those featured in it that they hate Christian traditions. Whereas David French and Russell Moore have long been exposed as bad actors, this still fails to trickle down to many normies. Phil Vischer being caught in a lie about Rob Reiner’s involvement with the project showcased that the documentary was originally titled The Power Worshippers, named after Katherine Stewart’s book.
Katherine Stewart is a New York Times columnist and the author of the book, The Power Worshippers. William Wolfe points out in a lengthy thread that Katherine Stewart is admittedly unfamiliar with Christian theology.
Katherine Stewart (@kathsstewart), author of The Power Worshippers (which@robreiner‘s documentary against Christians Nationalism is based on) admits she doesn’t even know Christian theology in her own book.
Wolfe continues:
Stewart argues that: “For too long now America’s Christian nationalist movement has been misunderstood and underestimated. Most Americans continue to see it as a cultural movement centered on a set of social issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage, preoccupied with symbolic conflicts over monuments and prayers. But the religious right has become more focused and powerful even as it is arguably less representative. It is not a social or cultural movement. It is a political movement, and its ultimate goal is power” (23).
Here again is that word: power. As she examines the rise of the Moral Majority and their opposition to abortion, support for traditional (biblical) gender roles, etc., it is all viewed through the lens of power.
In an interesting admission of disinterest at best and ignorance at worst, Stewart acknowledges that she will “leave it for theologians to decide whether their views are consistent with Christian teachings” (24).
One would think that the question of whether or not these widely-held Christian positions on relevant political issues are theologically informed, or even constrained (that is, faithful Christians have no other position that they can hold that is in keeping with their theology) would be of primary interest to a chronicler of Christian nationalism. Because if so, said positions are a matter of faithful discipleship, not power politics.
The anti-Christian Nationalists are not sending their best.

Like all Marxists.
It was at least 10 years ago. As you can imagine it did not get a lot of attention but it shows how far back and deeply rooted this scumbags religious bigotry goes
Hes JEWISH. OF COURSE!
A Jew making an anti-Christian movie. Imagine that.
The United States was founded as a Christian nation and the government should work to promote Christian values and ideals. This great nation was built on Judeo-Christian principles by our devout Founding Fathers. It is important that we maintain our religious heritage and not give in to the politically correct mobs that want to remove God from the public square
Admits To Not Knowing Christian Theology
Yep pure Hollywood logic damn the facts just make the movie.
Hollywood has rewrote history so often it’s all they know.
‘The United States was founded as a Christian nation and the government should work to promote Christian values and ideals.’
if you knew anything about the Founding Fathers you would know this is the very thing they were working to avoid...
‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof’
Meathead will be Meathead. Who cares what he says or does.
If believing in a system of positive moral values for society makes you a Christian Nationalist, I guess I’m guilty.
