Blake was a Christian. He was deeply knowledgable about the traditional theology which doesn't hold that God is a mean sky-daddy who lives on a cloud. Studying his work gives us access to other religious thinkers, like Buber, Weil, etc., who disagree with the dumb sola scriptura literalists.
From the little I have read of him just now, in terms of belief, he's closer to the typical atheist than he is to the typical Christian. He identifies as a Christian but it's a very nonconventional type of Christian. Reminds me of "Christian atheists" actually.
