Trying to follow Christ is not about getting in other people's faces and shaking them up. Why couldn't the Youth Bible Study club have been held AT HIS HOUSE??? Respect the separation of Church and State and the feelings and intelligence of the people around you. This movie made everyday people opposed to religious clubs in schools look like idiotic sociopaths.
If you go through life attending prayer meetings, joining bible circles, "liking" the bible on social media, AND going to church every Sunday while looking for non-offensive things to be offended over ... well then this movie is for you. You'll completely enjoy the unrealistic scenario that doesn't ever happen and the over the top characterizations of the evil antagonists that, in reality, just think you shouldn't shove your religion down their throats or interject it into public education at the expense of the tax payer.
All in all there was a clear lack of character development with characters that were already as vanilla as vanilla can be. They started out "unquestionably" right, didn't need to learn a thing, and ended "unquestionably right". The plot was transparent with the title and there were no surprises. The story was linear with no surprises, no excitement, no real drama. The acting was what you would expect from a "family friendly" cable channel's "special presentation". And personally ... there were far too many "shoulder to shoulder, on the stairs, heart to heart" talks.
All in all I just have one description of the film to encompass everything from the writing down to final edit.
Lazy.
There is a base that swallows this garbage with a smile. It doesn't have to be good in any way. It just has to feed into their world view. They'll buy it, they'll watch it, and they'll make the rounds on Netflix, IMDb, Amazon, or anywhere else to give it maximum stars and glowing reviews. Not because it was any good, but because it justifies their ignorance and enforces their belief that they're persecuted when they hear bogus stories of prayer being banned in school.

All atheists are evil, mean spirited jerks! Christians are being persecuted! Obviously whoever wrote this doesn't know any atheists, or at least doesn't understand the argument for keeping religion out of school. This movie is grasping at straws to make atheists look bad, but it is so preposterous...attempted murder at one point!? Cmon. Let me put it this way, as an Atheist I would side with Stephen Baldwin's character in this film. I would defend him and support him. Because we're fine with you having a moment of silence for your dead wife. We're fine with an extracurricular club that is optional. We would not order our children to not date the children of Christians. We would not insult a man's dead wife. We would not tolerate our children vandalizing public or private property. I would not tell my kid he can't read the Bible, if for no other reason he should know why his mom and dad don't agree with the inconsistencies and supposed truths inside. We would not pick street fights with christians.
The movie itself is bland. Baldwin is monotone, the evil characters are two dimensional. Corbin Bernson is okay for the most part. And who designed the logo of the Gods Club. The thumb on the hand is upside down! Did a kid design it?
The plot is predictable and the writing is just bad. I've seen a few Christian movies and this was definitely the most boring.

God is good all the time; all the time, God is good! Question what happens to you when you die? I believe that I want to be with God! Many of the most intelligent, scientific atheists have tried to prove Jesus did not die and was resurrected, and now they love JEsus and are believers... yay God!!!
I have nothing against Christianity or the idea of Christian movies but the plot is so horribly unrealistic and exaggerated. This is nothing more then Christian propaganda. This movie is perfect if you're a Christian and for some reason feel like Christians are oppressed and discriminated against, if you are a normal person then you will quickly become frustrated at the terrible acting and laughably bad plot.
