The strange Persecution Complex Christians tend to get.

Which one?

They made a movie about England annexing the Puritans?

@glennmagusharvey Are you referring to the one where a school's Nativity play replaces the Biblical Magi with aliens searching for gold?

Yep, that's the one.

Fourteen years later, Bob decides it's time to become a soldier again when he sees Christianity being erased from his community. The cross has been taken down from the facade of a local church because someone found it offensive. His now-adolescent grandson gets in trouble for bringing a Bible to school. The last straw comes when Bob is told that he's not allowed to put Christmas decorations in the town square because it violates the separation of church and state. Everywhere you turn, Bob says, people are declaring war on Christmas!

1. I've never heard of crosses being taken down from churches.  No one I know who is an atheist or nonreligious cares about that.  People recognize these are places of religious worship, on their own property.

2. Now I'm curious, exactly why did his grandson get in trouble for having a Bible?  Any school administration that I've known has far better things to do than to look through people's bags for religious literature, and I've never met anyone--student, teacher, or administrator--who had a problem with someone bringing religious literature of any kind to campus, for personal use.  (Spamming everyone is another story; that goes under harrassment.)

3. I don't know what kind of crazy idiot bans Christmas decorations from the town square.  I'm not even a Christian and I celebrate Christmas, because I agree with the message of generosity and charity and peace.  You don't have to be spiritually connected to Jesus Christ to get that message, and whether or not you're Christian, it's still a message about being nice and generous to people.  I've never met any atheist or other non-Christian person who objected to Christmas decorations; we put up a tree in our dorm, and it's got atheists, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and more.  No one objected; everyone enjoyed it.

4.

While Bob is clashing with Hammerschmidt, his grandson is helping plot the sabotage of the annual school Christmas pageant. The theater teacher has removed all references to Jesus, so it's now about a trio of aliens following a bright star to find a pot of gold.

Someone please tell me if any of this is inaccurate, because if it is, I'm giving this movie four out of four.  Four strawmen out of four, that is.

I don't really know, but based on this other review, seems the movie really is that terrible.

^ Hm, that links to this interview, which suggests that Christmas with a Capital C is a much better film.

Naas_Human

I've never seen either film, so I can't vouch for that. Although, for a movie to be better than Last Ounce of Courage doesn't sound like a hard thing to do.
