Don Clinchy of Slackerwood.com writes, “Faith of the Abomination is guerrilla documentary filmmaking at its best, complete with grainy hidden camera footage and gotcha! moments. But while giving the church members a thorough and well deserved punking, Melton and Nguyen take great care to avoid portraying them as one-dimensional, gay-hating enemies in a simplistic us-versus-them battle. The congregants come across as actual human beings whose disdain for gay people stems from fear and ignorance more than hate. Faith of the Abomination is a cut above most documentaries of its type because while it regards its subjects with a healthy amount of righteous anger, it also treats them with an unexpected humanity.“
John Bradley of the Austin Gay & Lesbian International Film Festival comments, “The build to the climax was among one of the tensest moments I’ve ever seen captured on film. All the while, the film rises above condemnation of the Church as a whole and delivers a message of acceptance through spirituality that feels true to the characters and important to the LBGTQI community.“
