You’d just be setting your money on fire. You’re trying to find the people at the intersection of progressive attitudes and serious commitment to Christianity. Progressive churches have lower commitment because they have minimal to zero differences in morality with progressives who don’t go to church and they’re less likely to have children continue in the faith. Same phenomenon as how the Jewish assimilation treadmill goes Orthodox > Conservative > Reform > Secular > does not identify as Jewish.
- Breza 5y agoThat really depends. If you're the ELCA and trying to get people to call Congress about the latest SNAP bill, you'd love to get your message in front of liberal Christians.
- dunnevens 5y agoI think this depends on what the ads are being used for. Majority of ads I see are for church services, or long rants on a particular religious topic by individuals who aren't selling anything. Most of my religious ads are not part of a big marketing campaign. Centrist or progressive churches would also benefit from telling people what time services start. And some progressive Christians would want their opinion piece or podcast promoted. I'm sure those ads exist. I just don't see them very often. For ads of this type, we're not talking about expensive bids. These fall squarely into the "$20 to promote this post" category.
- fakedang 5y agoI guess the simple answer is that progressive churches, or any progressive places of worship for that matter, don't receive as much funding as their conservative equivalents. Nor do they harangue their masses for funding like their conservative equivalents.
