Wordsworth's religion

Hello,

I am studying the poem "Tintern Abbey" of Wordsworth I don't understand the last passage. I think it has a link with the poet's religion... If somebody can explain me the meaning. Thank you.
Here is the passage

Therefore am I still
A lover of the meadows and the woods,
And mountains; and of all that we behold
From this green earth; of all the mighty world
Of eye, and ear both what they half create,
And what perceive; well pleased to recognize
In nature and the language of the sense
The anchor of my purest thoughts, the nurse,
The guide, the guardian of my heart, and soul
Of all my moral being.

I think that makes him sound Christian and he's talking about God protecting him
