Huh, that's weird. I've been seeing ads for "He gets us" saying that Christianity has always championed women /s
I reported that shit for misinformation. Religion has always been a means of consolidating power, and that realm has always been controlled by men. Pretty much all religions operate this way.

I blocked the username that the ads are under and I haven't seen one since. It's great! I don't even know if they still advertise on reddit since I haven't seen one in quite a while. Highly recommend.
Edit: Suddenly, blocks no longer mean fuck all to this account. I'm getting the ads no matter how many times I downvote and block. Clearly, I'm not interested in this content, why are you showing it to me. Bring back the solar panels and cars and weird niche apps, PLEASE.

It's the standard alt right funded mealy mouthed bullshit that pretends to be progressive to reel you in.
Real progressive churches don't spend hella money on tv ads.

It's heavily funded by evangelical groups that do not support the inclusive message of the ads. These people are religious extremists who want to impose a very noninclusive world on the rest of us.
For example, one of them is the money behind Hobby Lobby. Those assholes are part of the reason your employer gets to decide whether your health insurance covers reproductive care.
They're using a progressive message they despise to polish the image of Christianity... the same image they have spent their lives tarnishing. These people can go sit on a cactus and spin.

Christianity is by no means monolithic.
