Creating Christian Material

I'm an atheist which no doesn't mean I think I 'know' there is no god. Adding 'a' to the front of the word simply means 'not' or 'without' so A-theism is just without theism.

With that said, I have made videos critical of religion in the past so I don't know the exact relation to doing christian videos. However even though I am an atheist I do listen to christian's points of views as I always like to listen to what everyone has to say. It does seem that Christians do get more dislikes than likes as an overall rule of thumb. So you may have to encounter stuff like that. And I'm sure there are people who could be jerks in the comment section.
 
I am a Christian, but I don't post faith related content on my channel. My channels more for laughs and fun, not for bringing up anything controversial. However, I do make sure I'm careful with the way I represent myself and if anyone asks I have no problem speaking to them about my faith like in comments or possibly on a video if I feel like it. It takes a tough skin to make straight up religious content because people either strongly agree or strongly disagree and they can get very heated in discussion. Like with my videos you think I'm funny or you don't. If you don't, I don't care if you post a mean comment. I'm like whatever you don't think I'm funny I don't care, I think I'm funny. But if someone comes out not for discussion but to straight up just attack your religious beliefs, I would be offended. Not something I could just brush off like I can if someone attacks my lame jokes. Lol there will always be cruel people who attack you for no reason if you are up for potentially having people attack you for your religious beliefs then more power to you. Attacking me won't change my mind but it would hurt more than someone attacking me for thinking I'm not funny. I'm rambling I don't know if this even makes sense.
 
It depends on your goals to what you should do.

If your aim is to make content specifically for other Christians, about your beliefs and religion - then just make that your niche. There are lots of other Christians out there who'd surely love to listen to your content, especially if you can make it new and interesting when compared to other Christian YouTubers. The key is to be very careful about how you target your content and where you draw people in. If you're advertising your videos externally, do so in communities that are already entirely Christian - things like politics, faith, etc, attract a lot of controversy when shown to people with differing beliefs. Do the same when you make searchable videos too, try to make them things other Christians would be searching for not general things that people who want to argue over beliefs will be searching for.

If you just mean making videos about another subject while also being a Christian, then I think it really depends on the subject to how often you should mention it. If you're like a gaming channel for example, people don't really come there to hear about politics, or spiritual beliefs, or anything that requires a while lot of thinking - they come to get entertained, so while it's okay to mention it I wouldn't suggest talking about it too often.

Also, if you do get any nasty comments from people with different beliefs/ideologies, then my best advice is simply to delete those comments and not react to them. I see a lot of political, spiritual, and other more controversial type channels digging themselves into a hole by replying to the hate and then starting long debates in their comments. Just defuse the bomb before it goes off by deleting the post. :)

Also, if you do want to attract an audience outside of just Christians, but still want to talk about your faith a lot (perhaps you'd like to introduce new people to the faith etc) then my advice is to think of it like you've got a room where 50% of people already are behind your ideas, and 50% are completely opposed - your goal at this point if you want to captivate all their attention is present things in a way that sits well with both sides. The way I've done this when dealing with slightly more controversial subjects in my own videos is simply by explaining why I personally choose to believe, do, or think about things a certain way - and then follow it up with a little disclaimer saying that people shouldn't just take my word for it and should go with what resonates with them on a personal level - if they believe my advice, take it, if they don't, then don't take it. Just a little disclaimer like that goes down pretty well with a lot of people who'd otherwise not want to hear your side of things.
 
Hey I’m a Christian you tuber and I have nothing but faith oriented content on my channel for the purpose of serving in the great commission of Jesus Christ. That is spreading the gospel and preaching from the word of god. My controversial content has taken off like evolution debunked stuff. I can’t seem to get anyone to watch my other content though. Such as living by the Fruits of the Holy Spirit. Why did Jesus have to die? And some of the crazy prophetic stuff in the bible which I find fascinating because it latterly predicted the future. Any idea how I can reach out of more viewers. I hate the illuminate BS being flung left and right I want to focus on God not a conspiracy theory.
 
Well personally I'm a Christian and I really want to spread the word but not have people put off from my videos. Okay I haven't actually posted anything yet but I'm working on how I actually go about finding the right balance between "preaching" and whatever else I'm doing haha.

I totally agree that it could all go either way as religion is a very touchy subject for a lot of people so it's tough to find out where it becomes crossing the line.

It's great to see some other people though with some faith :) Good luck anyway!!

What sort of videos do you make??

If people get offended that easily, they should really get off the Internet.

I think perhaps you're right but its important for me that I dont allow a brother or sister to stumble because of the material I put on here perhaps like other things on Youtube, I suggest you watch a video of mine and see if you can pick a message from each one... let me know if you cant! Because that's my aim!
