Andrew isn't within his remit, Daves recruits are the ex drug users/alcohlics etc ... altogether more vunerable and needy beings. I'm pretty sure Dave wouldn't welcome anybody from the house openly displaying an interest in joining his organisation ... he would then be forced into opening up with some direct answers.
Also, its not in his interest to be unfriendly with 'non-believers' because he will know from experience that he would quickly become branded a fanatic or fundamentalist.... by HMs and viewers alike.
