Nature religion

Okay, so you know how we have trees, flowers, animals, and all sorts of things in nature, right? Well, some people believe that these things are really special and powerful. They think that there are spirits or gods that live in the trees, flowers, and animals.

People who believe this have something called a "nature religion." This means that they think that nature is really important and sacred. They might go outside and spend time in the woods or the mountains to feel connected to the spirits.

Sometimes, these people do special things to honor nature, like making a special altar out of rocks or leaving offerings like flowers or food for the spirits. They might also have special ceremonies, songs, or dances to celebrate nature.

So, just like some people believe in a god who made everything in the world, some people believe that the world around us is full of its own special spirits that we should respect and take care of.
