Jesus Camp
Jesus Camp is a documentary film about Christian families and their journey through life with their Evangelical Christian beliefs. The main portion of the film is about children within the Evangelical faith and their time spent at a summer bible camp. An evangelical Christian is a person who is called to share the good news, to preach God's Word, and to set an example of purity and honesty. Even if these movements require political action. They seem to be very strict in their beliefs. If God would not approve of what they are doing then they should not be doing it. Harry Potter, for example, is spoken of in Jesus Camp. Becky Fisher, one of the children’s camp counselor’s, calls Harry Potter a warlock. She announces to the children that “warlocks are enemies of God and you do not make heroes out or warlocks.” Their world view is good versus evil; God is good and Harry Potter is evil. This group of people works to make sure they do not abandon the most important calling which is sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with others.

In past years religion has gradually grown from the public schools and that is why so many of the Evangelical Christian children are homeschooled. They do not believe or agree with many of the things taught in public schools such as global warming. In homeschooling they can be taught the
