On Sunday, The New York Times reported that tens of millions of people are confessing secrets to AI chatbots trained on religious texts, with apps like Bible Chat reaching over 30 million downloads and Catholic app Hallow briefly topping Netflix, Instagram, and TikTok in Apple’s App Store. In China, people are using DeepSeek to try to decode their fortunes. In her report, Lauren Jackson examined “faith tech” apps that cost users up to $70 annually, with some platforms claiming to channel divine communication directly.
Some of the apps address what creators describe as an accessibility problem. “You don’t want to disturb your pastor at three in the morning,” Krista Rogers, a 61-year-old Ohio resident, told the Times about using the YouVersion Bible app and ChatGPT for spiritual questions.
The report also examines platforms that go beyond simple scriptural guidance. While a service like ChatwithGod operates as a “spiritual advisor,” its conversational nature is convincing enough that users often question whether they are speaking directly with a divine being. As its chief executive told the Times, the most frequent question from users is, “Is this actually God I am talking to?”
