As debates over religion and politics intensify nationwide, a new documentary asks what religious freedom means in America today.
“Bad Faith,” a documentary examining the rise of Christian nationalism and its growing influence on American democracy, is coming to Southwest Florida. The Interfaith Alliance of Southwest Florida will host a series of screenings followed by guided community discussions, offering attendees an opportunity to examine how national debates over religion and politics are unfolding at the local level.
“Christian nationalism is not Christianity,” said the Rev. Dr. Sharon Harris-Ewing, president of the alliance. “True religious freedom means no single faith defines America. Protecting democracy and protecting religion go hand-in-hand.”
The free screenings are scheduled at the following locations:
- 3 p.m., Feb. 24 — Naples United Church of Christ, 5200 Crayton Road, Naples. RSVP by visiting their site.
- 5 p.m., March 2 — Collier County Headquarters Regional Library, 2385 Orange Blossom Drive, Naples. RSVP by visiting their site. The Collier County Public Library does not sponsor or endorse this program.
