I like the emphasis on nature, mysticism and humanity. Also the mention of Winstanley, someone I've looked to as an inspiration of what true Christianity could be... the idea that all of creation is knit together as one and all we need to do is to act as if it is so.

Of course, romanticism is a good name for such sentiments... they spring from a romantic vision of the world and what the world could be.

I also appreciate the critique of scholasticm and church politic, as well as of positivism; and conversely the valorizing of peasants, common people, artisans, folk musicians. Interestingly, Marx and his followers seemed to have no regard for such groups.
