I’m familiar with the movie. It poses as a documentary however, in consideration of the multiple camera shots and angles it cannot and has to be staged to certain degree. Other portions are documentary in nature and in fact That being said (written) it reasonably portrays the life and attitude of middle class, mid-west evangelamentalist protestant Christianity which has been heavily influenced by old puritan ideals-some of which are admirable-others, anything but Christian and having more to do with social and cultural expectations-especially those of US citizens. (Notice the dangerous marriage of Christianity and the GOP).
I was not far-off from a similar upbringing. I was not, however, a spiritual extrovert/exhibitionist–an attribute you must have to “fit-in” with the group. I didn’t care to “fit-in”.
The question is: "Is it Christianity? If it is, is it “The Church”?
