This is natural language problem, but I agree with you that this sentence is ambivalent and will cause confusion in the mind of the readers. Even I got confused by reading this line pointed by you. I think we should let the people of the site know and request them to use a clear sentence.
Here is another example from the site:
Q: Do Sikhs eat meat? A: There are no restrictions against eating meat in Sikhism. One small exception is that Sikhs are not supposed to eat
food offered to God. As in any other religion, there are Sikhs who choose to be vegetarian.
....again not a clear language. I think the writer is trying to keep the things simple ( a friend of mine pointed out that). Nevertheless, when a writing is about Religion and its practices and put on the web where people can just read and not listen to you, it becomse immensely important to have clear sentences.
