So you want to love others, be loved, and spread love. That's it. A Christian, possibly other religions, is going to ask how can you love, be loved, and spread love without God. That's why I ask how are you going to define love. For many religions, God is love, but because you don't believe in God, you must define love in another sense. 
I define love as the goodness in people and something we need. As the emotion, the feeling. I define it in the sense that it's a strong feeling.

So it's a strong feeling of goodness in people and is universally needed. I'm not going to analyze your definition, because you are trying to only define your beliefs and values. But the next question you would have to ask yourself, and this is still assuming that you want to love, be loved, and spread loved, is how are you going to do this? You can't really worship love, you can't really use it to define who you are, you can't really base all of your moral decisions on it either. So, as an aspect of something you believe in, I think it's great. But that's really as far as you can go with it. 
Thanks for the responses. I'm thinking a lot now =)
