But there's a sense of something, mysterious and unfathomable, that doesn't desert me, but which doesn't lend itself to patenting.

It is perfectly acceptable to spread your net wide as long as all versions of God so described are within your comfort zone.
If someone has a concept of God outside of you definition then it's a different patent and you have no right to criticize.
If I believe in a God with the head of an elephant and four arms (as some of my work colleagues do) and you believe in a God that cannot possibly be physically represented (as others in the office do) then they are obviously different animals and one cannot denigrate the other.
