The Bible Reloaded

[[File:TBR Art.jpg|thumb|165px|For all of our safety, the largely defensive [[Fun:Weapon of gun|weapons of gun]] seen above are locked and loaded.]]{{youtubenav}}{{hatnote|thebiblereloaded.com, a Christian website that sells Chick Tracts, provides this ringing endorsement: "This website is in no way associated or connected with the negative YouTube channel".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160305111705/http://www.thebiblereloaded.com/ The Bible Reloaded]</ref>}}
'''The Bible Reloaded''' ('''TBR''') and '''The Quran Reloaded''' are [[America]]n [[atheist]] [[YouTube]] channels maintained, but no longer actively run, by '''ActualJake''' (formerly the comedic duo '''Hannah and Jake''', formerly ''formerly'' '''Hugo and Jake'''). Hannah and Jake's videos focused on [[Bible]]/[[Quran]] study mixed with pop culture and some humor. They were known for dramatic readings of [[Jack Chick|Chick Tracts]] and long-form movie reviews.

As of 2023, TBR's channel had 146k subscribers and 51m views.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/user/TheBibleReloaded/about About]</ref> Patreon reported that TBR has 82 patrons and gets $154,8 per Wednesday episode.<ref>[https://www.patreon.com/HugoAndJake Account at Patreon]</ref>

However, as of February 2024, due to repeated and extensive sexual harassment by Hannah toward Jake<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hN8GgKk3gU]</ref>, the channel has been effectively disbanded. The two maintain separate Twitch and YouTube presences, with Jake frequently collaborating with his partner Sarah.

==Chick Tracts==
TBR analyzed 100+ (!) [[Chick tracts]] and videos from Chick Publications during the channel's tenure.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCgW8bgP5lDEJ3c-YenVG6DkNZIHjT0Rh Chick Tracts]</ref> Some gems include:

*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiMZRHLGhgk Movin' On Up]: On Chick's gross misunderstandings of evolution.
*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPltQKkqsIw Unloved]: Chick creates an underdog character who is saved by Jesus.
*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdOyGeCJdg0 HUMBUG!]: On Chick's idea that Scrooge is an atheist.
*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EigiE-McY9I The Peacemaker]: On one of Chick's "adapted for black audiences" tracts.
*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWvvkfHkeQI&list=PLCgW8bgP5lDEJ3c-YenVG6DkNZIHjT0Rh&index=35&t=0s Soul Story] Another of the above, and possibly one of the funniest products of humanity.
*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K10QFhLw-ck Lisa]: The "Worst Chick Tract", done as a "Viking Funeral" by TBR after the death of [[Jack Chick]]        
*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_CzP7ACXEk Big Daddy?] The duo team up with [[AronRa]] to blast one of Chick's more hilarious illustrated tirades against evolution.
*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bss5Ijpz6E The Last Generation] We see what Chick thinks the future would hold. Notable for introducing the recurring character of Harold P. Penisman<ref>https://villains.wikia.com/wiki/Harold_Penisman</ref>
*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjTqwXBMw7U The Contract] Jack Chick whole-heartedly endorses someone's ability to make a deal with the [[Devil]], get very wealthy, then accept [[Jesus]] at the last minute and get into heaven. 
*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhoBkb686C4&t=110s Wounded Children] TBR reads a tract that Chick banned because it accidentally showed the dirty [[gay]]s to be pretty all right and nice folks.
*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuwHVZV6Bjg It's a Deal!] Dealing with the devil again, but this time with black people! Guest star {{wpl|Arian Foster}}.

==Atheists Watch==
These long-form movie reviews took down the tropes and bad writing (often inextricable) of Christian film:<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCgW8bgP5lDECI0XF3WVpN5S4il7nsyED Movie Reviews]</ref>

*''[[God's Not Dead]]''<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vu0mZe5wZ_Y&list=PLCgW8bgP5lDECI0XF3WVpN5S4il7nsyED&index=1 Atheists Watch "God's Not Dead"] with Playlist</ref>

===The Bible Reloaded vs. Five and Two Pictures===
In 2016, the Christiano Film Group (also called Five and Two Pictures) filed DMCA takedowns of five of The Bible Reloaded's movie reviews. In response, TBR decided not to just file counterclaims but to outright sue the production company to prevent any more cases of DMCA takedowns.<ref>[https://www.gofundme.com/tbrdefensefund TBR's Fight for Fair Use]</ref> As of March 2017, they had raised about $85,000.
TBR released a video discussing the resolution of the lawsuit on March 27.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQMfm7JhlEM The Lawsuit is OVER! Wrapup Q&A]</ref> The gist of the case is, the person who filed the false claims had gone nuts over something said on social media, and the Christiano Film Group completely disowned his actions and were very sorry for the incident.

==Politics==
{{cquote|Man, Trump supporters, [[Irony|you're gonna have a BAD NIGHT]]. Please don't go out and do something stupid, even if he's like "Revolution!" Nah. Just play this one out. Go to B-dubz, chill out, hate brown people there all you want, it's fine. Now people are gonna be like "[[Not_all|Not all Trump supporters hate brown people!]]" Yeah, we know, the ones who are brown don't hate themselves, usually. Now they're gonna say that we're Hillary shills. Nope! Just hate Donald Trump.|||TBR's prophetic powers leave much to be desired<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEWwadondhk The One With Trump (For Some Reason) Atheist Qur'an Study #22]</ref>}}
TBR's generally hold socially and economically liberal positions:

* TBR responded to ''Voiceless'', an [[anti-abortion]] film<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPzFIVc5V64 Atheists Watch "Voiceless"]</ref>
* TBR made an ''excellent'' [[Alex Jones]]-style ad<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJc1WRwIxFo&t=133</ref>

TBR's retweets also fit this theme.<ref>https://mobile.twitter.com/cmpriest/status/838574339394002945</ref><ref>https://mobile.twitter.com/Jim1810/status/847521581328936963</ref><ref>https://mobile.twitter.com/Hannahreloaded/status/838899674161508353</ref><ref>https://mobile.twitter.com/Hannahreloaded/status/838897659561783296</ref><ref>https://mobile.twitter.com/Hannahreloaded/status/838891816728539137</ref><ref>https://mobile.twitter.com/Hannahreloaded/status/838906447002025984</ref><ref>https://mobile.twitter.com/Hannahreloaded/status/838910524352040960</ref>

With the exceptions of [[Steve Shives]] (later disowned), [[AronRa]], [[Matt Dillahunty]], and Arian Foster, all the guests on their Chick Tracts video series had been YouTube [[antifeminist]]s. On Twitter they had stated that they didn't know if they were antifeminists<ref>https://twitter.com/biblereloaded/status/863567399542439936</ref> but that they were against "[[Steve Shives|Shivesian]]" feminism. They expressed pro-feminist views in their reviews of [[Christian]] movies<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQxJrsGv7YQ Atheists Watch Old Fashioned]</ref> and made a video rebutting anti-feminist YouTuber Undoomed.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3ZzazBw0Nc&t=137s Undoomed is Trash || Taking Out The Trash]</ref>

They also created a series discussing and rebutting [[Jordan Peterson]]'s ''Twelve Rules for Life''.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCgW8bgP5lDGDpX5Z1dfQiMbzv5vDjJr3 Responding to Jordan Peterson]</ref>
