It's just one more thing to prove that Christians are victims.
The Senior Pastor (Thompson this was his last film as he died shortly after filming) never explains the reason for the subpoena for the transcripts of three months of sermons "like in Houston," and this makes the insertion of this scene in the narrative all the more odd. The film does exactly what Grace is accused of doing. The film looks like entertainment but it is "preaching and teaching" Protestant evangelical "sola scriptura" Christianity and citizenship to the audience. Well, not all of us, but the evangelical Christians, the real Americans. I have great reservations about "God's Not Dead 2" (as I did for the first film) because Christians are shown to be victims and the government, with its evil agent the ACLU, are out to get us. It shows people searching for God and they find God in the Bible, though it is always a solitary endeavor, between each one and God. There are some faith-affirming statements in the film and it would be nice if young people would read the Bible and reflect on biblical teaching. I must say that actor and Christian crooner Pat Boone, at 81, still looks good. The cast for "God's Not Dead 2" gives solid performances and the film, released under the Pure Flix label, has high production values. According to the film, Christianity together with authentic American patriotism are under attack in America, especially politically conservative and evangelical, Bible-based Christianity. The premise of both films is nothing more than politicized religion as a vehicle to feed conspiracy theories. "God's Not Dead 2" follows the successful 2014 film "God's Not Dead." Both are directed by Harold Cronk and written by Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon. Pastor Dave agrees that things are getting bad for Christians. As things are going, a pastor says, it's moving from pressure to persecution by the government and the next thing you know they'll be seizing your property at the end of a gun. But midtrial a group of pastors meet with their Senior Pastor (the late Fred Dalton Thompson) who tells them that they all will be receiving a subpoena to turn over transcripts of the last three months of their sermons to the district attorney. Grace's public defender is Tom Endler (Jesse Metcalfe) and he doesn't really have a plan to win the case until the very end of the trial. Martin later decides he wants to become a minister.

Meanwhile, a young woman, Amy (Trisha LaFache), a non-believer, learns she is cancer free and decides to start writing about her search for faith. Grace lives with her grandfather (Pat Boone) and he tells her that atheists don't take away life's pain but hope. Grace discovers that when she quoted words allegedly made by Jesus this allegedly proves she is not in compliance with local, state and federal regulations. The American Civil Liberties Union lawyer (played by a slick, nefarious looking Ray Wise) tells Brooke's parents that this case will help their daughter get into an Ivy League school and win enough money to pay for it. In short order Grace is suspended from her job and Brooke's parents, incited by the American Civil Liberties Union, file a civil case against Grace because she is "preaching" rather than "teaching" and has harmed their daughter whom they brought up as a freethinker.
