The entire documentary can be summed up in the final twenty minutes. The events in Tulsa Massacre, explaining Oklahoma's racist history. That is what this documentary is talking about, the hypocrisy and the perversion of the Oklahoma political landscape mixed with extremist religious views to promote racist and ignorant policies from political and religious leaders.

While I found myself agreeing with a lot that was said about religious conservatism in this country, I feel this documentary left out one of the main reasons I stay away from any organized religion even though I'm spiritual and long for community connections these types of churches (UUC Churches) are supposed to provide EVERYONE...

And that's ABLEISM. Disabled and neurodivergent folk are highly marginalized too and many religions either victimize us to become our saviors, demonize us, ignore us until we go away, or you have the overly religious parents/guardians that claim killing their disabled child/loved one was a kindness they did so now their child isn't suffering and is with "God". And yes this still happens, yet because we are still not being heard these stories are often ignored.

I constantly see that unless the social justice these types of people are after is popular by the majority, disabled folk are still forgotten and excluded from these conversations. Yet the overly religious treat us just as horribly in different ways. I guess because even non religious folk treat disabled folk the same way just for different reasons, they ignore it so they don't have to face how badly they treat us still...

I really can't care about much else that is said in this film, because it doesn't address religion's ableist history (well not history they still do it). Intersectionality is important and we shouldn't have to force any religious group to do such things. For me, until they do, I just stay away from them all.

They all are hypocritical and think they are better than the rest while still being exclusive and problematic. This film was no different. It comes off as inclusive and all "woke" but when you're a part of the marginalized group(s) being left, out you notice. Especially since I know personally how problematically exclusive my local UUC actually is, yet claim to be inclusive like these people try to claim but fail miserably at actually being.

Properly takes on the fundamentalist movement, while still buried under Christian superstition. "They're bad, but we're good" without recognizing their own nonsense. Will play to unquestioning audiences while reinforcing their own fictional superiority.
