This one paragraph is enough to identify this as Modernism:
The Religious Sense is not a book exclusively for members of the movement, however, nor is it only for Christians or believers. It is a book for all human beings who take their humanity seriously. I dare say that today the primary question we must face is not so much the problem of God – the existence, the knowledge of God – but the problem of the human, of human knowledge and finding in humans themselves the mark that God has made, so as to be able to meet with Him.
Considering
unbelief (e.g., heresy, apostasy, etc.) is the greatest sin, the Modernist heresy, which thinks God is unknowable, is definitely the worst of all heresies:
Every sin consists formally in aversion from God…. Hence the more a sin severs man from God, the graver it is. Now man is more than ever separated from God by unbelief, because he has not even true knowledge of God: and by false knowledge of God, man does not approach Him, but is severed from Him.
Nor is it possible for one who has a false opinion of God, to know Him in any way at all, because the object of his opinion is not God. Therefore it is clear that the sin of unbelief is greater than any sin that occurs in the perversion of morals.
Since "by false knowledge of God, man does not approach Him, but is severed from Him", "the existence, the knowledge of God" is vital, else, like you said, we end up violating the First Commandment by worshiping a figment of our imaginations, an opinion, ourselves, etc.
