- 100Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittChristian Science MonitorDavid SterrittA scrupulously balanced look at the subject outlined in the title. Packed with historical, sociological, and cultural context.

- 60Village VoiceJ. HobermanVillage VoiceJ. HobermanCertainly not as incredulous or mocking as it might have been. If anything, the mood is apprehensive. But it's depressing that--Carter aside--the filmmakers failed to find even one liberal believer.
- 40Film ThreatPhil HallFilm ThreatPhil HallA stale and poorly researched documentary.
