and spread existing religions. I think it will be more like the current social media algorithms that target content towards a audience of users that might have a tendency to believe or show an interest in "existing" dogma.

Considering the fact that recent history has shown that if you say something or promote an narrative over and over it tends to be accepted as reality I think it might be tool for religions that proselytize to be even more effective than today. I view that as very troubling because reality is only determined by logical inference, empirical observation, or some form of experience.
