Help wanted - review an open source messaging project claiming security

So, this looks interesting, and peer to peer, but I can't read code well enough to see if this is secure, and possible in case of emergency collapse with power for a while or some locations.

Useful context; thanks! Yeah, the Christian references scattered throughout the project seemed, well, odd.

For secure messaging, see Telegram Messenger, Signal. which is what my household uses; has the disadvantage that it's tied to your smart phone), and Tor Project | Anonymity Online. Maybe GPG (The GNU Privacy Guard) and OpenSSL.

Also see [community profile] underground_rail, which has seen a little use but thankfully not much.
