The Power Worshippers by Katherine Stewart—the inspiration for the documentary God & Country—offers a chilling exposé of the Religious Right, revealing it not as a cultural movement but as a powerful political force determined to reshape American democracy.

Through deep reporting, Stewart uncovers a sprawling network of think tanks, churches, advocacy groups, and billionaire donors united by a theocratic, anti-democratic vision. This Christian nationalist movement is highly organized, well-funded, and increasingly global, aiming to dominate government, law, education, and public life.

Far from being fringe, its influence reaches the White House, state legislatures, and beyond. The Power Worshippers is both a wake-up call and a warning: America’s democratic institutions are under siege by a movement seeking to replace them with religious authoritarianism.
