    "God's not Dead 2" showcased many different phenomena that can change the viewers lives. Director Harold Cronk, followed up a sequel where in which the issue of religion in school leads to courtroom showdown over God's rightful place in society. It is a crisis of faith whose resolution is a fait accompli, turning the struggle into a tormenting exercise in one-note proselytizing. This paranoid persecution-complex fantasy is likely to win many converts. 

   The movie started showing the realities of life. A person having a bad day, conquering a problem and also having a usual day. It was a big acclimation for Brooke (Hayley Orrantia) after her brother died. She was in search of something, she felt empty and sad because she will no longer be able to talk and see her brother again. Brooke is a student of Grace (Melissa Joan Hart) in her history class. Grace in the story finds herself facing the school boards fire-and-brimstone rage when, while lecturing about Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., and Brooke asks about the alikeness of those leaders and Jesus, and Grace responds by quoting scripture. According to the school board, such using biblical discourse violates state federal laws governing separation of church and state. Thus Brooke's parents files suit against Grace with the aid of Wise's nefarious lawyer, he is a disbelieving shark who "hates" Christian beliefs and who wants to use his newest case to "prove, once and for all, that God is dead". He promises them that ensuing publicity will help their daughter get into a good college, if only they'll sign on the Faustian dotted line.

         Refusing to accept the deal that requires her to formally apologize, Grace stands to her own faith for the Lord and, in doing so, is equated by the film as a principled kindred spirit. Tom Endler (Jesse Metcalfe) her lawyer, represented her to court. Tom is not a Christian but he respects his client's staunch convictions. The proceedings where overseen by Ernie Hudson's bellowing-judge-caricature soon devolve into cartonishness. With jurors accepted or denied, and legal councils indulging in endless orations.

       "God's not Dead 2" delivers profuse arguments about the separation of state and church that seem entirely sundered from any rational understanding of the topic. This movie shows the tyrannical driscimination faced by Christians.

       In the end good always win. The word of God always prevails. If we'll relate our lives to the movie, our life is like Grace's. We suffer problems, some people try to pulls us down and step on us, well life is not life without problems. God gave us that problems so that we can conquer it. There is always a pinch of hope in us. Don't lose that hope for that hope is from God and that hope keeps us going.

       In conclusion of all the intense debates, dramas and etc. "God's not Dead 2" operates at the level of average, but it surely has a lot of reflections and lessons that we can learn and "it has a far greater levels of upside-down logic" (variety.com).
