At the very least they should target people who consider themselves Christian but have stopped going to Church for one reason or another.

Although to be fair many of the more "dedicated" Churches function more like a cult

    I don't think they should "target" anyone. The entire basis for this app is creepy at best, and it shouldn't exist in this form. If people want a way to discuss things, they should instead share anonymous experiences.

    But yeah, there are a lot of weird, culty "churches" out there, where I suspect the leadership is knowingly manipulating their congregations. But there ale also a lot of accusations of culty behavior that really aren't applicable, so it's a mixed bag. At the end of the day, I think most people are decent, regardless of religion, it's just the really vocal minority (the brainwashed minority, as well as those who left) that make the most noise.
