Do you know how many views Easter sermons get, or are you just assuming it's not much? I would be quite surprised if the youtube algorithm is looking at video editing style.

I didn't mean to imply it does -- at least, not directly. But those factors affect how users interact with the videos, which YouTube measures as engagement. And a typical sermon is likely to look especially bad on certain engagement metrics; in particular, their length means that users are less likely to watch them to completion, and even less likely to watch multiple videos in a single session.
