Selling the Sacred explores the religio-cultural and media implications of a two-sided phenomenon: marketing religion as a product and marketing products as religion. What do various forms of religion/marketing collaboration look like in the 21st century and what does this tell us about American culture and society? Social and technological changes rapidly and continuously re-frame religious and marketing landscapes. Crossfit is a "cult." Televangelists use psychographics and data marketing. QAnon is a religion and big business. These are some of the examples highlighted in this collection which engages with themes related to capitalist narratives, issues related to gender and race, and the intersection of religion, politics, and marketing, among other key issues. The innovative contributors examine the phenomenon of selling the sacred, providing a better understanding of how marketing tactics, married with religious content, influence our thinking and everyday lives.
