TikTok users have lately noticed a big jump in religion-related comments popping up all over the platform. You can’t scroll far without seeing stuff like “Jesus loves you” or “Christ is king” under all kinds of videos, even ones that have nothing to do with faith. It’s got a lot of people frustrated, and they’re not shy about saying it.
Here’s a screenshot of a typical comments section that many users are seeing:
These comments are showing up everywhere. Whether it’s a dance video, a cooking tutorial, or a random meme, the same religious phrases keep appearing. Many users say it’s throwing off their experience. They want to talk about the video itself, but instead, they’re wading through a flood of gospel messages that feel out of place.
People have different theories about what’s going on. Some think these are bots at work. They point out how repetitive the comments are and how they often pile up fast under popular posts. A few even suggest influencers might be paying for them to boost engagement, since religious comments tend to spark reactions.
Others believe it’s real people spreading their faith. The timing’s interesting too. This surge started around Ramadan, a major time for Muslims, leading some to wonder if it’s a push to counterbalance Islamic content or just a coincidence tied to religious enthusiasm.
The complaints are loud and clear. One user vented, “It’s gotten out of hand. Every video I watch has these gospel comments, and it’s annoying when I just want something relevant.” Another posted, “I don’t have anything against religion and mentioning it, but it’s really starting to get annoying when I want to see more comments related to the video.” It’s not just a few grumblers either. The sentiment echoes across posts, with people saying it’s ruining discussions and making comment sections a mess.
Not everyone’s upset, though. Some defend the trend, saying it’s just free expression. They argue users can scroll past if they don’t like it. Still, the flood is hard to ignore, and it’s making it tougher for folks to connect over the actual video content.
This isn’t new for social media. Platforms like Facebook and X have seen religious waves before, often linked to events or campaigns. On TikTok, it’s hitting hard right now. With the app being a hub for all kinds of voices, this clash over comments probably won’t die down anytime soon.
