It says very little and seems simply to go out of its way to be inclusive of all religious viewpoints. They take special care to mention other religions than Christianity, which is fine, but the article says nothing other than there are blogs of every religion. Well, DUH!
It seemed like all they were trying to do was announce GodBlogCon without being too obvious about it. There was one line that sort of honked me off:
