Documentary Dispatches: In God’s Name by Channel 4. Aired: May 19, 2008. About Crazy Christians

Dispatches explores the growth and increasing influence of Christian fundamentalists.

As the Human Fertilisation and Embryo Bill continues its way through Parliament, David Modell follows some of the leading members of Christian pressure groups as they attempt to win converts and convince MPs to base laws on Biblical beliefs.

Hard-line Christian activists are now mobilising believers in an attempt to make an impact on society nationally. Followers believe abortion and homosexuality should be illegal, there should be no sex before marriage and that the law of blasphemy should be strictly enforced.

They say the Bible is the definitive word of God and is literally true and are intolerant of other faiths. The film follows well funded and politically active Christian groups and shows them emerging as a significant voice in British politics.

“We make the rules – the news, war, peace, famine, upheaval, the cost of a paper clip… you’re not naive enough to think we’re living in a democracy are you? It’s the free market.”

Words of wisdom by Gordon Gekko

“The Christian God is a being
of terrific character – cruel,
vindictive, capricius and unjust”

Thomas Jefferson

Freedom of religion, if it is going
to apply to everyone, also requires
freedom frem religion. You do
not truly have the freedom to
practice your religious beliefs if
you are also required to adhre
to any of the religious beliefs or
rules of other religions.

According to a study by the
university of Minnesota sociologists,
athiests are viewed as the group
that least embodies the “vision of
American society”
