An examination of the all the verses on page 1159 of the AGGS (the reference given in the article) do not reveal any suggestion of the assertion that '...each revelation is genuine and each religion valid…’ or that 'God...

Kabir Ji - From 1380 to 1499 A.D

This is clear from the fact that though the writing of these hymns is by the same scribe, in each case the writing differs in the size and shape of letters and the shade of ink.

Two major points of the books are that the Bhagat- Bani was incorporated in Sri Guru Granth Sahib from the pothis scribed under the supervision of Guru Amar Dass, and secondly, that nearly all the Bhagats were direct disciples of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and not fore-runners.
The fifteen Bhagats who contributed to Sri Guru Granth Sahib are: Bhagat Kabir, Bhagat Trilochan, Bhagat Beni, Bhagat Ravidas, Bhagat Namdev, Bhagat Dhanna, Bhagat Jaidev, Bhagat Bhikhan, Bhagat Sainu, Bhagat Pipa, Bhagat Sadhana, Bhagat Ramanand, Bhagat Parmanand, Bhagat Sur Das and Bhagat Sheikh Farid.
Pashaura Singh writes that Bhagat Bani was included into Sri Guru Granth Sahib not because of its coherence with the Sikh teachings, but in order to provide a contrast with the core Sikh teachings.
