Do I have to say instead follower of (an interpretation of the) buddhamma instead? There are interpretations based on Nikayas+Agamas in which nibbana is not religious, is the ending of the natural forces of greed, hatred and delusion, the reality of a non grasping mind.

Well, I argue in the book that those concepts and interpretations are religious. That's not a criticism of them; it's a criticism of how people think they are beyond or outside of religion in using them.
