All those sorts of words trigger for me are new agey connotations... mysticism etc. And in your case, words used to add meaning and mystique to your quest for the carrot; theists are heaven-seekers... that's it. The language used to describe that quest and/or God, no matter how noble-sounding, beautiful, or poetic is just window dressing that maintains the delusion that it's anything more than heaven-seeking. That's how I see it.
