This, however, is what made the Abrahamic religions unique. They warn not to let your emotions, like awe, lead you into the worship of nature, but to look up to nature's God. And that has been a very profound, and very overlooked, shift in human history.
You're hardly the first religion to evolve out of animism/shamanism.
