“Meathead” Joins Forces With Woke Christians For Documentary on “Christian Nationalism”

The association of Rob “Meathead” Reiner (a true to life television character) to anything related to Christianity as to what their goals and agenda is, and it isn’t for the well-being of the Faith (Deadline.com).

Oscilloscope Laboratories has snapped up U.S. rights to God & Country: The Rise of Christian Nationalism, a new documentary produced by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Rob Reiner (A Few Good Men). Featuring prominent faith leaders who shine a light on the dangerous implications of this growing movement, it’s slated for release in early 2024.

The film directed by five-time Emmy nominee Dan Partland (Intervention) looks at the implications of Christian Nationalism and how it distorts not only our constitutional republic, but Christianity itself. Featuring numerous prominent Christian thought leaders, the question it asks is, what happens when a faith built on love, sacrifice, and forgiveness grows political tentacles, conflating power, money, and belief into hyper-nationalism?

In addition to the always politically active and socially conscious Rob Reiner, producers included Michele Reiner, Steve Okin, and Jeff Okin. Among those offering expert commentary in the doc are political commentator and author David French; VeggieTales co-creator and Holy Post podcast host Phil Vischer; pastor, author, and Holy Post podcast host Skye Jethani; historian and author Kristin Kobes Du Mez; Christianity Today editor-in-chief Russell Moore; historian and author Jemar Tisby; U.S. Presidential Medal of Honor Winner Sister Simone Campbell; social activist Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II;  Evangelical Pastor, activist Doug Pagitt; journalist and producer Reza Aslan; journalist and advocate Rob Boston; journalist, Master of Divinity (M.Div.) Jack Jenkins; pastor and author Rob Schenck; political commentator and author Charlie Sykes; sociologist and journalist Andrew Whitehead; historian and author Anthea Butler; journalist and author Katherine Stewart; and journalist-attorney Andrew Seidel.

The article fails to mention Meathead’s “politically active and socially conscious” activism is all for the Left. As far as his spiritual leanings, the Freedom From Religion Foundation quoted this 2019 tweet from him: "I’m not a Christian. But I try to live by the teachings of Jesus. There is nothing more morally profound than treating people as you would like to be treated. There is nothing less moral than taking babies from their mothers [at the U.S. border]." Wikipedia referenced Reiner mentioning to a Huff Post interviewer “while he rejected organized religion, he was sympathetic to the ideas of Buddhism.”

Not surprisingly. Meathead and others like him have the wrong idea of Jesus and Christianity. In their warped minds, Jesus is some effeminate hippie who sings Kumbaya, and Heaven is a reward for those who try and live the Sermon on the Mount while “doing the work” of social justice.

Then there is the real agenda of those who offered commentary, many of these names I mentioned in my recent piece about the Leftist infiltration of evangelicalism (link if you missed it).

Phil Vischer’s podcast is hosting a series entitled “Still Christian” with Tisby, Du Mez, and Russell Moore. In their article on the podcast, DISNTR wrote:

Jemar Tisby is one of the leading agitators of the modern racial division in Evangelical churches in America. He regularly incites hatred and division between blacks and whites by indicting all white people with the inherent guilt of former white American slave owners simply by the virtue of the color of their skin and insisting that all white people are obligated to self-atone for their inherent sin through various and unending reparative acts. Jemar Tisby says that churches with American flags are just like the KKK. And his colleague at The Witness, the publication he oversees, has completely come out in support of abortion, advocating for the leftist mantra of “safe, legal, and rare.”

And of course, there is Kristin Du Mez, Calvin University professor who is both pro-abortion and pro-homosexual.

DuMez, Tisby and others works were mentioned in a 2021 article for the leftist Baptist News Global, entitled “The deconstruction of American evangelism.”

We are witnessing at this moment the intellectual deconstruction of a religious group that has been called “evangelicalism.” Illusions about this community are being destroyed left and right.

Of course, those illusions first eroded in practice, through the contradictions and failures of U.S. white evangelicalism itself. Today, however, the intellectual underpinnings of evangelicalism are being deconstructed by the scholars.

In short, that is what this documentary is all about: deconstruction. Of America, evangelical Christianity, the Constitution, etc. Because the American evangelical community has been the last remaining stalwart toward America being destroyed into a socialist Utopia.
