Firstly, believe or don't, I don't care. You do you.

The main character just comes off as menacingly weird and phoney, the other actors are worse - if that is even possible.

The story is trite, disorganized, and overdone. It treats it's audience like idiots, spoon feeding every limping plot point.

Somehow manages to be painfully boring and super creepy at the same time.

"The future of religious freedom in our country" is the endless war-cry from Xtians who have decided that the USA is aTHEIR country, and that (a) there should be no separation of Church and State, (b) God actually exists, (c) it's our (i.e. Xtian) god, not some other deity, (d) making films with mostly erroneously-represented court cases in the end credits give credence to the persecution complex. Seriously: take the time to check the "evidence" to look up and READ through the actual court cases in the credits, and you will see that the persecution isn't there. Oh, but the film producers want you to believe that this is evidence of oppression. And that's the history of all religions: scant evidence if any, indignation leading to feelings of oppression, a declaration to take back something which was God-promised, and creating a them-vs-us scenario. What shameful trickery and deceit these film makers and actors are producing.

The genre of this movie can be most accurately described as somewhere between dystopian and propaganda. The persecution complex is on full display, as is par for the course for the series. Essentially, this film is a scheme to generate as much money as possible by slapping the name of a franchise on a nearly unrelated film (which is hilarious, because do the filmmakers seriously think that this movie is gonna make any money?) This movie is just barely, and I mean only the slightest bit about Christianity. On the whole, the franchise should've just stopped with one movie.
