About Bad Faith 2026: Christian Nationalism in Power
In 2024, Bad Faith: Christian Nationalism's Unholy War on Democracy came out to critical acclaim. Variety called it “the scariest and most penetrating documentary of the year” because it went deeper than any other film and uncovered the Christian Nationalist cancer that was tearing apart our democracy. Two years later the cancer is now enthroned in the Oval office. Our new film, Bad Faith 2026: Christian Nationalism in Power abridges the original film and adds fifteen minutes of new material on Project 2025 in action during Trump’s second term in office.
The assault on democracy did not begin with Trumpism. It did not begin with the Tea Party. It did not begin with the Moral Majority. The current day assault on democracy began with the WHITE SUPREMACY MOVEMENT in the 1960’s as part of a shrewd, calculated, and well executed political plan. That plan became cloaked as a religious movement. Those white supremacists and their heirs are now known as Christian Nationalists. Aided by a record 82% of the white Evangelical vote, Donald Trump was re-elected in 2024. Back in office, he immediately began implementing Project 2025, the playbook for the Christian Nationalist vision of America. Discover in BAD FAITH the historical origins of this movement. Discover also the secular and interfaith leaders challenging Christian Nationalism and the stirrings of the national mass movement to defend democracy from the greatest threat since its founding 250 years ago.

About the book
No Prophets: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism
From Congressman Jared Huffman, a behind-the-scenes look at the shocking extent of Christian nationalism’s reach in our government—and the fight to defend church-state separation.
Sinclair Lewis is said to have warned: “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross.” On January 6, 2021, Rep. Jared Huffman saw something chillingly close to that vision. Thousands of Christians following self-declared prophets stormed the Capitol. The insurrection should have been a national wake-up call about Christian nationalism. Instead, most Americans and politicians looked away.
No Prophets argues that Christian nationalism is now America’s most dangerous political movement. Huffman pulls back the curtain on religious extremists behind the insurrection who have only grown more powerful with Trump’s return. Openly vowing to destroy church-state separation and democracy as we know it, they now work inside the highest levels of government to drive domestic and foreign policy, reshape federal agencies, undermine science and education, and tilt elections. The endgame: an authoritarian theocracy that imposes their religious beliefs by force of law.
Drawing on his experiences as a formerly devout Christian and the only Humanist ever to serve in Congress, Huffman maps the movement’s largely hidden landscape—taking readers behind the scenes of the Capitol, exposing the tactics and myths Christian nationalists use to advance their agenda, and showing how America is imperiled by our reluctance to confront threats cloaked in Christianity.
But, he argues, it’s not too late. If we muster a broad interfaith coalition grounded in shared commitment to democracy, we can reclaim the public square for everyone—religious and secular—to share on equal terms.
No Prophets is a clear-eyed, urgent appeal to defend the secular foundations of democracy.
