The “grand scheme of things” means seeing something from the overarching scope. This phrase makes me think of a “divine plan” by an intelligent god or creator.
Another word for "by and large" could be "with all things considered" or "for the most part". It doesn't give off a religious appeal.
But both phrases can be used interchangeably.
