Searching for meaning can't really be considered a bad thing. I just tend to be frustrated by folks who look in the wrong places for meaning and don't usually express myself effectivly.
I tend to turn to nature and relationships with others to sort things out and not any kind of religion. Seems to me these things can be more reliable and can teach us far more lessons than what religion has to offer. I have seen very few if any positive outcomes and healthy relationships that are rooted in religion.

re·li·gion
- Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.
A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship.
The life or condition of a person in a religious order.
A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader.
A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.
I think that the last one can encompass your state of nature. Wiccans/Celtics and a number of other religions/belief models follow nature. Thus you it is not to far a stretch to say you are religious. Maybe not in traditional ones like Christianity, Hinduism, Islam...but still it is a belief model.
