I asked Chat and they couldn't find any public info on what church Peter Thiel goes to.
I haven't listened to any of Thiel's thoughts about Christianity. I probably should just so I can understand what people out there are saying. But I wouldn't be surprised if he's mixing in a lot of his own worldly philosophies and interpreting scripture through that lens.
That's my guess. I listened to some of that interview where the guy asked him if he was the antichrist. He's always been odd and like that whole class of tech elites a lot of it is literally autism for lack of a better word. Based on that interview... I would guess he's well out of the orthodoxy of historical Christianity.
In general I find the vast majority of "antichrist" talk to be unfruitful.

1 John 2:18 (ESV)
“Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour.”

Its also important to realize that (as far as I understand it) the anti isn't just meaning against in the original Greek but also an impostor. So a fake Christ that is also opposed to the King of Kings.
When we put men on pedestals and put too much faith and hope in them we are entering risky territory. We can point to many times and men where this could be true. To me, this is the practical lesson to learn about this figure. The spirit and desire to create our own fake savior.
