God and its idea is not relevant for the teachings of the historical Buddha. When something is not relevant, is not relevant, so it can be put aside with any harm. The teachings of the historical Buddha give you such confidence.

I’ve been trying to find a way of blending the two together, and according to Thich Nhat Hanh its ok to do this - taking the best from many traditions to nourish us.

I think you have found that Aasha. Focus on it, explore it and if that is the path, assume it with confidence, loyalty, enthusiasm and love, working it and give yourself a honest discern about dukkha being quenched.
