Let There Be Light (2017)—Ok, I admit that I didn’t expect to watch this movie till the end even before I started watching it because these kinds of movies are not exactly watchable. And out of all the aspects of the movie (like the intro of the movie occasionally showing WTC attack), the main focus lies in the script. The opening credits read “screenplay by Sam Sorbo” and I thought “so I guess this was written by Kevin Sorbo’s brother?”, but Sam is not Kevin’s brother but the wife and his wife in the movie.
So the gem of the movie is that Sam didn’t make any research in what she was writing, which was about the atheist character. I mean even a child in grade school writing homework about some subject has enough sense to make some research about the topic it writes, and doesn’t just pull shit out of her ass. So, judging by this movie I can see that Sam heard that there are these people who don’t believe in any god, but who are getting more popular every day, so she wanted to warn people about them and teach everyone a lesson to stay away from atheists.
The first thing she did was to invent the plot, and the plot is as if the former member of this forum, Little Rik, came up with it: “What would happen if some of the ‘prominent’ atheists had a near-death experience?”
And then, as she didn’t even bother to talk to some atheist or look at the books criticizing religion, she concluded that atheists must be drunk all the time, because why not? If you don’t follow the teachings of the Bible that forbid getting drunk what is stopping you from being drunk all the time? And, of course, any monogamous relationship is out of the picture because Christians invented the marriage and without that fear of hell people are just having orgies or at least settling with "shallow" photo models. And another of course is by not praying, talking to god, going to church, and fearing God, atheists really don’t have anything to do all day long except throwing crumpled paper into the basket and getting drunk all day long.
So in her quest to “open our eyes” so that we can see how afraid, shallow, and deluded atheists are, she instead made Christians (like her) look afraid, shallow, and deluded, considering that she is afraid to read at least one paragraph out of the “atheists” books, so it resulted in an utterly hysterical take on atheism and atheists.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
