I have a website that has nothing to do with god, gods, holy happenings, bibles, prayer, churches or miracles (no man will ever be found washing up on my website).

I have recently begun to completely revamp my hubs. I am publishing several revamped hubs per day. Can this have a negative effect on my HP profile score, Google rankings etc.??
