But, heresy aside, can such views be considered as leaning toward gnostic?
 
I had a discussion/debate with James Jordan a long time ago and he professed
a personal belief in "modern" Christian theology. It really bothered him that 
aspects of the Sun Series could be interpreted in a manner which granted reality 
to pagan gods and monsters. (though, ironically, it was from his Wolfe interview
that Wolfe's pagan beliefs are most often quoted)
