I think a site such as this one is dangerous. How can you justify a rating system for churches? Singing? What happened to worship?
So if I have a bad experience a t a church or just don't like the church or the movement/ denomination, I can give it a bad rating?
What do you hope to achieve... a list of the top ten curches to visit? How will you know that these churches are preaching the Gospel uncompromised? Or that the church isn't hiring professional musicians to lead people into the presence of God...
Preaching? How do judge that? Is a good preacher a funny preacher that soothes my conscious? How will you rate a preacher that nails the sin in your life, all the compromises we make?
Friendliness can be judged if you are objective... but if you are a bad apple yourself, how will you know genuine friendliness?
I really believe this is a dangerous ploy, rating churches.
