The link was provided because the site has a large number of links that seemed
(to me, at least) useful and helpful to b-hebrew members, regardless of
religious commitment or lack thereof.

It's unreasonable to ask for "religiously neutral" websites given our subject
matter. B-Hebrew's rule against proselyting has to do with b-hebrew posts. 
While
"religious", the OT Gateway seems to be a useful resource. I hope to add some
links to Jewish interpretation and study of the Hebrew Bible. Expect them to 
be
religious, as well.

The Blue Letter Bible is hardly less "religious" than the OT Gateway. And it 
has
far less value in terms of resources or links of interest to B-Hebrew members,
in my opinion. For those who desire a more "religiously neutral" site, start
with iTanakh.org. It is the best "index" site that I have found so far. It's 
why
I put it first on the list.
