But one small thought I had was the enjoyment I get from interpreting "normal" religious dogma, phrases, or wisdom in terms of this threadlike, "wholistic," and non-anthropomorphic view of reality (all 100%).

Phrases like "The Lord is always with you" take on a different meaning--not anthropomorphizing a "Lord," but becoming just an obvious statement of the nature of reality--we are always with the threads that create us.

I don't know if religions would appreciate my liberal and abstract interpretation or translation of their words, but as I say--it does bring me a certain joy and satisfaction. It helps me form a more integrative world view; seeing similarities where too often we can easily see differences.
