Usually not a fan when the display is overtly political or religious, regardless of the direction. I don't mind a film having a point of view, but when it becomes clear it's just propaganda, I tune out.
But that propaganda in either case borders on delusion (I'm not saying this movie does specifically, I haven't seen it). And I like to see that delusion on display. so I'll watch it. I'm going to doubt any of my moral values are threatened.
I kind of want to see this to see if the 0% is justified honestly, as pointed above the completely inane Inconvenient Truth got a 93%. That's a pretty big difference.

I can see the entertainment value in that, but that's usually not my cup of tea. I tend to rank that up there with watching skateboarders bust their asses on stairs. At some point it's just too much, regardless of how funny.

Again...the difference in ratings should not be a surprise. The vast majority of people working in entertainment and media lean left, so work which leans left will be more likely to be viewed positively than work that leans right. Sometimes, regardless of the quality of the work, the message outweighs it. So when I see ratings like this (IC Truth so high, Dinesh's thing so low) I assume the truth is somewhere in the middle with numbers being skewed because of the message of both.
