I meant to send this reply much earlier but didn't complete it then.
Hence this delayed response.

Like TV ji said, it is difficult to judge how much of the translator's
bias shows up in these kind of works.

Buddha lived around 600 BC when there were very few established
religions. I am not convinced that he would include things like 'Not
every religion is worth having' in his teachings.

I have the feeling many of the religion-related items in the list
include Dr. Ambedkar's thoughts more than Buddha's original teachings.
