This looks like a way of optimizing spirituality. If you have enough tools (religions), then any problem or choice can be viewed from X perspectives and allow you to make a much more conscious decision. If you understand enough viewpoints and practice with them enough, you'll get a feel for which decisions go best with which religion.
That is what I got out of that blog entry. I did enjoy it, but I feel that Beyond Religion, that podcast from a few months ago, was superior. Obviously, you can cover more in a podcast than in a blog entry, but it was definitely a nice supplement to the podcast and gave some new ideas. It is a very unorthodox way to look at religion, expecially from all the viewpoints of, "I am an...," but it does make a lot more sense than binding yourself to the "one true faith." Good blog entry and keep them coming...
