But why is that God? Or if it's merely nature and nothing more, why call it God? If you go around calling Nature "God" all the time, people might think you believe in a supernatural deity as opposed to merely nature. So it's rather misleading. Better to just call nature "Nature" really.

EvF
God created nature and its laws and normally acts through natural events that don't conflict with natural laws and processes. He isn't bound by or limited to those laws and sometimes acts outside of nature. These actions are the ones which are usually called miracles. But most of the time he carries out his will by natural events and nothing happens that he doesn't permit.
His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
Romans 1:20 ESV
