Published details about the founder Andrew Torba state he is Christian (various business sites, interviews, self identifies as) and he and his family are constantly posting christian stuff on Gab. I have not seen anybody offer any proof otherwise.

There have been a few high profile bans on Gab that have been the result of pressure from outside sources and bans due to TOS violations (dox, threats, murders etc...). For Example: Stormer was banned for a fake meme because the domain registration authority ( ICANN ) was threatening to pull registration rights from any registrar that serviced any site Anglin posted dead fat chick memes too. Little was banned for harassment / threat to dox and promoting holohoax museum vandalism. From what I saw of the exchanges from those two examples at the time I got the feeling the "victims" were trying to get banned as a means to self-promote.

As for Gab's utility as a micro blogging site it's 1000x better than Twitter but is not intended to be a Reddit-alike like VOAT or a Facebook-alike like Minds. It is what it is. Gab's utility is potentially much greater with the Dissenter "on page" comments widget though imho.
