The new documentary Bad Faith exposes a political effort by Christian Nationalists to weaken and destroy American democracy and promote an authoritarian vision. It also highlights how secular and interfaith leaders are working to combat the push to fascism. Journalist Anne Nelson is a featured commentator in the film, and her book Shadow Network: Media, Money and the Secret Hub of the Radical Right is a source for the doc.





On today’s show, Nelson joins host Allen Ruff to give a history of Christian Nationalism and help us understand the current moment.




Bad Faith is showing today, Thursday, September 26 at 6:30 pm at Pinney Public Library
(516 Cottage Grove Rd) hosted by Concerned Citizens Against Christian Nationalism and on Tuesday, October 15th at 5 pm at Barrymore Theatre (2090 Atwood Ave) hosted by the Progressive Magazine, the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, Community Shares of Wisconsin and the Center for Media and Democracy.





Anne Nelson is an award-winning investigative journalist who has written extensively about human rights and the defiance of totalitarian regimes. She is the author of Shadow Network, Media, Money and the Secret Hub of the Radical Right; the film’s unprecedented exposé of the covert Council for National Policy and its top secret membership rolls was made possible by her ground-breaking investigative work.
