"Church for the Churchless!" - Is this the way it should be? Pure tolerance!

I came across this "Church" on the internet a few days ago. They welcome all Religions, agnostics and atheists. Their core mission statements are as follows:
We believe we are called to live a life open to all possibilities.
We believe in the value of fellowship and the need for community.
We believe each must walk their own journey and that each must respect the journey of others.
We believe no person should be isolated spiritually from any other person.
Given the tensions that have existed between different belief systems and faiths throughout history; this is a refreshing attitude to have yes? Apparently it is not all "laid back" attitudes at all. Different Ministers (or equivalents) are invited to participate and speak seriously about varying topics on a regular basis. A TRUE embracing of Religion as a whole. The way Religious education should also be in my opinion.
What does anyone else think in regards to this approach?
