The law does not legislate for religious organizations - they are free to make their own internal rules and regulations as they see fit without Congress' knowledge, assistance or approval.

Was this legislation intended to fund non-religious organizations such as the San Diego Padres, or was it intended to fund religious organizations such as churches, synagogues, and mosques?

You are making two mistakes here:

(1) Religious organizations make their own internal laws, rules and regulations. Congress does not legislate their rules for them.

(2) The Padres are a for-profit organization and are a silly example.

The new legislation was intended to end discrimination against faith-based non-profits. The government already provides funding for anti-religious non-profits like the ACLU, the NEA and Planned Parenthood. The new legislation ends the imbalance.
