An accurate representation of an inaccurate representation

As a Canadian Christian who has devoted his life to the study of the Bible it's hard not to give a biased perspective. This film keeps it's borders within the "MegaChurch" genre (which is fair as that is the common type of prolific Christianity in America) and so one must keep in mind that this does not give an accurate representation of Christianity, so much as "Americanized Christianity". The facts & beliefs presented by the Church take a 50-50 split between "true" and "based in truth". As the MegaChurch structure is all about mass-evangelism, they, like all commercialized businesses, will skew the facts to support their means.For someone watching this film with a critical mind, they will notice how the film more than subtly treats Christianity as a type of mass brainwashing. But at the same time, shows how the techniques of evangelism depicted are almost carbon copies of the natural sales/political propaganda.One may say that is due to a biased editor, but as one who has watched the ebb and flow of North American Christianity, I can attest that the views/methods displayed are in general very accurate. However I must say that Biblically speaking there is very little substance in this film.As the culture in America is focused on a self-serving, quick and easy, microwave dinner style life; naturally, the understanding of religion takes on that form.This documentary is eye-opening and wonderful. Not in the sense of what is true Christianity about, but rather what does title "Christian" mean to people in North America today.7 stars

Poor filmmaking and boring

This whole movie can be summed up as "Wow, you don't see that in NY! You guys believe in God and some of you believe in some crazy stuff!"Just boring. Not really interesting and not much to say. There are some weirdos out there but it is not really packaged correctly nor does it make a distinction between harmless and harmful piety.The Answers in Genesis guys should have been really pushed to defend their thinking and weren't. Jerry Falwell should have had to answer "When was America for Christ?" And they could have also spent a little more time on the interesting cultural aspects of what exactly is the message of Christian pro-wrestling.

Who's whackiest of the bunch?

Yeah, those Evangelicals sure are a whacky bunch. Alexandra Pelosi, filmmaking daughter of whacky Nancy Pelosi (who looks a lot like an Evangelical wife BTW), visited the choice whackiest of the bunch and got them to talk into her microphone. To be honest, it almost endeared them to me.
