It is not often that the sequel is better than the original, but this is the case with this movie. The main plot involves a teacher who gets sued by the ACLU for mentioning Jesus at a public school history class in response to a question by one of her students. The school district cooperates with the ACLU's lawsuit in order to find a reason to fire her. At stake is the real issue of whether a public school teacher may even mention the historical facts about Jesus even in the context of history without being accused of proselytizing. The sequel is better than the original because the stakes are higher. And I do not think that the "enemies" are grotesquely exaggerated as in the first movie: because there really are powerful forces out there (the ACLU being one of them) whose view of the Constitution demands that Christians in particular hide their faith from public, lest someone out there be offended.

Along the way some minor characters who appeared in the first movie make some cameos: the pastor, the blogger journalist, and the son of the communist official. The were minor characters in the first movie, and they remain minor characters in this one as well.
