Wonderful character development!

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

I am generally entertained by the apologetic religious films; however, this was bland and nearly as uninteresting as possible. The narrator is an evangelical Christian, who completely disregarded everything in the Old Testament and Jesus' references to its inherent validity.The political overtones are tired and unimaginative. It would've been more interesting if there were some developments here. The narrator just kind of says, "Bush is a vocal exponent of Christianity; he started a few wars. Bah! No biggie."This is a prime example of a Christian who is civil, not because of his religion; but in spite of it. Watch it if you're into these kinds of things--if not, skip it.

I think some of the previous reviewers totally missed the point of this film. The filmmaker expresses his own views initially and sporadically throughout the movie, not to persuade anyone that he is right about everything; rather, he wants other Christians to stop acting like they are (by judging and attacking rather than loving). He "gets it". This documentary was not meant to be a hard-hitting expose, but a lighthearted attempt to stimulate discussion about Christianity and show empathy for the anti-Christian sentiment and examine the reasons it exists. I really enjoyed it, and I don't think the title or tag line was misleading at all. It never felt preachy at any time. Great doc.

The Easter bunny ...is a co-opted PAGAN symbol the Christmas tree is another Pagan Symbol...If the Director/narrator was the least bit sincere about presenting a balanced view he would be as honest as possible.The Founders of our country were Deist(Thomas Jefferson) not Christian.The film is nothing but sophistry.....And any intelligent person that falls for any of this should be ashamed of them self.IMHO......people have religion because they fear death... get over it ..let people enjoy their life.....We don't live in Iran....The U.S.A IS NOT A THEOCRACY...PEOPLE YOU ARE FREE TO BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT.THINK FOR YOUR SELF AND MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION YOU CAN DO IT YOU KNOW WHATS RIGHT....THINK FREE....

As a Christian, this movie was one of the best messages that anyone who claims to be a Christian could hear. I have always thought of myself as a compassionate person, but Dan Merchant hit the nail on the head with his objective portrayal of what the Culture Wars today need to come to a healthy conclusion. As God says in the OT.."If MY PEOPLE, who are called by my name will humble themselves..... The answer is not to beat people over the head with the truth, but to love them unconditionally. This is the first time, as a conservative believer, that I can look at people who I thought I despised, like Al Franken or Bill Maher, and understand where they are coming from, and not only that but want to engage them in love. This movie gives the church an ear shattering answer from God to the question "What would Jesus do?"
