The company that ran the ad hasn’t been banned from Reddit outright but has had its advertising privileges taken away. “In light of this incident, we are reviewing our screening processes to ensure similar mistakes don’t occur in the future.” “We do our best to enforce our ads policies across both direct and programmatic ads but in this case, a promoted post that was in violation of our ads policy was mistakenly approved,” a Reddit spokeswoman said by e-mail. The ad is gross in so many ways, from its racism to its sexism and everything in between, and the internet rightly called Reddit out for allowing it to run.īut after all the backlash, Reddit only offered this semi-apology: It was an accident. –After deplorable Roseanne Barr fires shots at Black-ish our writer is ready to throw hands. The ad also specifically warns white women: “Dear women of the West: Without white children we will perish.” “Be part of the Trad Revolution that has been evolving in white communities where masculine men court the feminine women with the explicit objective to continue their lineage,” the ad says. –Tristan Thompson caught cheating on Khloe Kardashian with 2 women–Īnd the site itself is just as troubling, with references to “white genocide” and the “main solutions” to this so-called problem. The site, WhiteDate.Net, calls for “white Europeans” to join their “trad revolution,” short for “traditional revolution,” AdAgenoted.Īnd as you might guess, “traditional” means “white-only” in this context. "A book such as this, whose contributors understand the shades of grey and are able to provide a critique of the religious fanaticism and extremism (on all sides) that has given the rise to so much of the controversy surrounding The Passion, should be essential reading in schools and universities everywhere.Reddit is under fire for running an ad on its site for a white supremacist dating website. " The Spiritual Revolution provides a much-needed survey and theoretical synthesis of research on religious involvement, particularly in Great Britain and the United States … The result is a much more nuanced and productive account of religious change than the usual secularization versus sacralization approach." Penny Marler, Samford University It will be hotly debated by sociologists, theologians, and all those interested in the future of religion and spirituality." Hugh McLeod, University of Birmingham
"This well-researched and cogently argued study offers a challenging diagnosis of the spiritual condition of present-day Britain. Heelas and Woodhead supply both in generous measure." Charles Taylor, McGill University To understand this, we need both careful empirical research and constant reflection on our categories. "This book explores the significance for contemporary religion and spirituality of the subjective turn in modern culture. I strongly recommend anyone with an interest in this field of study to read the book as it highlights current research findings as well as breaks new ground in sociology of religion." Australian Religious Studies Review "Clearly, this book written by leading sociologists of religion, is a must for anyone interested in sociology, alternative spirituality and Christian studies, and will be made reference to in many forthcoming researches. It raises key issues for all concerned for the future of Christianity in Britain." The Baptist Times sets out their findings with back-up evidence from studies worldwide. "Is Britain undergoing a seismic cultural shift with New Age forms of spirituality set to overtake traditional Christian expressions? That's the fundamental question explored in depth by two leading researchers into religious life in Britain today.
The careful way in which the authors develop their argument step by step, taking into account possible objections, is admirable.” Journal of Contemporary Religion “It is clear that this book, with the distinctions it introduces and its daring central thesis, is a major contribution to the current debate. I say this for two reasons: first, because it tells us new things about the nature of religious activity in Britain and second, because the authors offer an interesting interpretation of their data, drawing from innovative theoretical insights." Church Times
"This is an important book that should be read by anyone concerned with the future of religion in this country.
