BibleProject (Channel Link)

A lot of teachers in our schools stumble across this and love it. The animation and content of Biblical stories and themes is one of the best available. Very useful for presentations, or for your own knowledge. 

Their description: BibleProject is a nonprofit animation studio that produces short-form, fully animated videos. Our videos and all of our other resources are available for free to help people everywhere experience the unified story of the Bible.

Cut (Channel Link)

Ok, this one is definitely left-field. Mostly videos about social relationships, dating, alcohol-related games and dares, it offers content on the reality of the human experience, particularly from a Millennial perspective. One of its gems is its Religion section. It can offer some interesting videos.
