If you're wondering why this movie exists, you simply have to look to the numbers. The sequel is completely disconnected, following a teacher (played by '90s relic Melissa Joan Hart) who accidentally preaches in class and finds herself forced to defend her faith against an eeevil Civil Liberties Group in a court of law. The first God's Not Dead found a young college student going toe-to-toe with his liberal college professor (played by '90s relic Kevin Sorbo) after he declares that you-know-who is you-know-what. That's not going to get me to see God's Not Dead 2, but I appreciate the effort. Then again the trailer does open with the slumming-for-a-paycheck Ray Wise literally declaring "We're going to prove once and for all that God is dead!", which the kind of B-movie villainy that I enjoy very much. I find this movie fascinating not because it looks good (it looks cheap and bad), but because the cackling villains featured in the trailer ultimately come off looking pretty reasonable and level-headed. That brings us to the trailer for God's Not Dead 2, a movie that exists so it can literally preach the choir. I even thought Risen looked pretty darn interesting for a "Christian" film, and I'm the kind of person who thinks The Last Temptation of Christ is the best "Christian" movie ever made. I let the vast majority of these movies pass me by and we are allowed to peacefully co-exist.
As a secular heathen whose soul is destined for the fiery pits of Hell, I try to give faith-based movies the benefit of the doubt.
