Is it possible that CNN went with he in an effort not to be accused of endorsing religious doctrine?

The capitalization issue could get more controversial if many readers conclude that not keeping He upper case drops the antecedent to the level of a mortal's proper name such as Henry. Avoiding using God and a corresponding pronoun might be easy enough in most news reporting, but quotations containing both necessitate a style choice for hard copy and web text reporting.

How will CNN and others in news reporting handle the capitalization issue? Web searchers will keep a vigil.
