I think that's a regular distinction more and more people are making, the difference between the spiritual (the energy flow, the experience, the feeling of things) and the religious (ritual, sometimes with specific roles and officiants, often with a selection of beliefs or dogma). You do not have to have a conception of a deity to believe in the aliveness of things. So what you've described here makes perfect sense to me.
