If you'll pardon my disagreement, I think you're just appreciative of nature. That doesn't make you religious, unless you start to believe that you have to perform rituals or praise invisible beings as a prerequisite to appreciate beauty. I don't, and I don't think you do, either. Welcome aboard.

Welcome, barbend. I'll meet you halfway: an atheist can be religious...but their religion can't be atheism. One can justifiably say the same about theists and theism.

Would religious naturalism be an apt description of your position?

Mister Agenda, you are a god :p I would say that it comes quite close, although obviously not perfect (all of our views are individualistically particular to some degree).
