That is an expression of connectedness, not one-ness. The notion that all is one is flatly incogent on it's face. A thing cannot be itself and not itself - identity. If all is one, then john and not john are one.
As far as connectedness, the sense of the numinous which informs us so deeply in our religious convictions, that's not actually a religious argument. We do feel that way, it would be an argument (and a poor argument) that....because we feel this way, we know that our superstitious convictions are true. Truth isn't determined by feeling any particular way.
