Nature worship is a vague term used to describe a diverse variety of religious, spiritual and devotional practices found in a broad spectrum of spiritual traditions. While the term can sometimes have pejorative connotations, it can be an accurate description for some kinds of religious practice. Falling under the bracket of "nature worship" are both those practices which revere nature on Earth (IE: the Biosphere), the cosmos and wider universe, or both.

Religions which practice forms of nature worship are primarily of a pantheistic and/or animistic bent, though they are also found in polytheistic and other pagan religions where deities are viewed as the embodiment of natural forces.
