@donnellwrites: The Religious Shift in America, Deconstruction, and The Reckoning. This has really been a journey. Ta-Nehisi Coates reminded us in “The Message” that the writer’s job, above all else, is to clarify. I hope this video does that. Book recommendation: “The Day God Saw Me as Black” by D. Danyelle Thomas (@Dany • @UnfitChristian). A powerful and prophetic work from which you will not leave the same 🙏🏾 ——— Video written and edited by me. Featuring Dr. Kia Conerway, D. Danyelle Thomas, Amanda Seales, Kendra Allen, Tyler the Creator, Kendrick Lamar, The New York Times. #BlackTikTok #deconstruction #spirituality #mystory #exvangelical

You got pastors living hella rich and can’t even help their members who are in need. 😩

I realized I'm nicer to myself as an atheist and that results in me being nicer to others naturally. I move in ways that progressive and not regressive and I credit that to deconstruction of theism

“Three generations behind” is accurate. GenX went to church with our grandparents

I really started deconstructing when I got on TikTok. I had no language for what I was feeling but I was happy to have a community doing the same thing

Let’s say if you can’t care about my life here, I don’t believe you care about MY afterlife.

I visited a yt church. The pastor all but told the congregation who to vote for in the local & used scripture to explain why. Our pastors are afraid to get real or lose the tithing older churchgoers.

I left the church and won’t return; I can’t base my life around a text than can be used to say whatever you want it to say. But props to you for all the positive work you are doing, however you chose to frame it.

yes it is she :
I stopped going to church when the pastor spent 30 minutes of his sermon berating people for coming in late. It just rubbed me the wrong way. I decided that I've got God at home, I'll just speak...

Donnell. I am an African from a tiny African country. You remind me every day with your content that logic and intellectual isn't an odds with the Divine. Thank you.

I struggle to think organized religion as its understood in modern times has the capacity for radical, true love. It’s more focused on how we are different than how we are all connected.

As a Gen Xer whose Boomer parent didn't connect to the church either, I'm forever grateful to her. I CHOSE to join church at 12 & agn at 22. And I left w/o any guilt because it was always my choice.
