Most versions of pagans / wiccans / spiritualists / psychics would probably make that claim.  They are sure that there is a god, or probably many gods, out there, and that they can communicate with them.  (And manipulate them.)  They will tell you that most churches started out good, and were corrupted by greed and power.  (I'll agree with that last part.)

As I was pulling away from traditional belief, I studied some of these things, attended a few psychic fairs and gaia circles.

It's really just trying to substitute the "god loves ME I'm special and here's my special group" feeling that they had with traditional religion into a different brand of WOO.
