So no, they don't worship god, technically or otherwise.  They worship life.  21st century retconning animists (if we wanted to be cruel about it).  Not deists, or theists.

You're conflating God with god. The capitalization differentiates the deity from an object.

god (lowercase) simply means object of worship, which means ANYTHING that's an object of worship.

1. anything that is visible or tangible and is relatively stable in form.

2. a thing, person, or matter to which thought or action is directed;
