“According to it, what is behind the universe is more like a mind than it is like anything else we know.....”

The moral law...hard to argue that man is a moral animal. CS Lewis covered it well in “Mere Christianity”. I’m glad for her.

Anne Rice made a big deal out of her conversion, but it didn't last long.

This is just another case of "Look at me! Look at me!"

they see humanity as living on its own, disconnected from any fertile source of knowledge and goodness

Well, unless they understand nature herself as the source of both intelligibility and moral order (like the Stoics or Aristotle).

It's a more difficult case to make if you have a hard materialism (like the Epicureans or Hobbes), but it can still be made.

The main difficulty for contemporary atheists is that they also want to do away with any normative sense of the natural.
