Kevin Sorbo and his wife, Sam, will be starring in "Let There Be Light," a new movie about a famous atheist who converted to Christianity.

Sam, who met Kevin on the set of the TV series "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys," co-wrote the script with Dan Gordon.

"The idea hit me. I wonder what would happen if the world's greatest atheist had a come-to-Jesus moment?" she said to AL.com.

Kevin will take on the character of an atheist author who had a near-death experience.

The crew just finished three weeks of filming in Birmingham, Alabama and will continue to shoot scenes in New York City.

The couple hopes that the new movie will be as successful as "God's Not Dead," which starred Kevin as an atheist professor. The film earned $60.7 million on a $2 million budget.

"From a business perspective, if you do the right faith-based movie, you're going to reach a lot of people," Sam said.

She added that spiritually inspiring movies made for Christians create a more dramatic effect. She then narrated a story about a woman who approached Kevin and told him that she was a Muslim who converted to Christianity after seeing "God's Not Dead."

Her hubsand Kevin is also not shy about speaking about his faith to the mainstream media. Last July, he lamented the increasing secularism in America.

"We are turning into a secular country, aren't we? We are taking God out of everything. We wonder why bad things happen. We worry about schools, well they are taking God out of schools," he told FOX11.

Kevin also complained about the highly sexual and violent content in today's movies but he believes that Hollywood will start producing more faith-based films. Kevin played Joseph in the film "Joseph and Mary" which was released on DVD last July.

"Let There Be Light" is expected to be released in December 2017.
