Rather than folders what about tags?
I think that tags have the following advantages:
Multiple tags per item
Extendable to other items such as songs, custom items and themes. (Not
sure the Bible plugin would make sense
Tags could be available across plugins

IMO tags and folders are very different things. You can sort of use them
for similar purposes.
The question is what problem do you want to solve?
Folders have a very strict hierarchy, while tags don't require any
specific structure.
For images, movies and presentations I find folders much more convenient
than tags.
You already sort them like this on the filesystem, and I guess it's more
natural to people.
As you have mentioned, items can have multiple tags. For me that is most
useful to organize exchangable things.
So if I want a picture with mostly blue colors, I can search for the
"tag" blue.
I personally wouldn't need tags for presentations, because if I want a
presentation, I want exactly one.
I can see tags useful for things that I can use as a background, so
background movies or images.
So I can tag by animation speed, color, ...
Should items be exported with this meta data? IIRC the OpenLyrics
standard allows for topics?
I didn't find anything regarding this on openlyrics.org
