The story of how potent forces came together to mount an army of climate change skeptics in the name of God, country and capitalism.

Directed and Produced by Jeanine Isabel Butler and Catherine Lynn Butler


A Butlerfilms Production for the Religion, Race & Democracy Lab

In God $ Green: An Unholy Alliance viewers are taken on an eye-opening journey through decades of religious polarization, political propaganda, corporate deal-making, and environmental injustice based on systemic racism. It’s a story often told in light of social and cultural issues. It’s told less so in relation to the biggest crisis facing us today—climate change.

"If there's a lesson in the kind of thing that the film is talking about, I think it's that we should try to develop a politics where we're primarily focused on outcomes, not sides."

Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Georgetown University

"When you allow your faith to be used by people with economic interests, wow, does it get corrupted pretty quickly.”

Bob Inglis, Former US Representative R-South Carolina, 4th Congressional District
