I think you would call that "animism" or "nature worship."

Animism, some forms of Shamanism and Totemism, Medawewim, Medicine societies, NeoPaganism (Paganism is more about playing it safe or loosely worshipping chance or whatever gods there be, superstition) Claude Levi Strausse and Mircea Eliade are two main writers along with Joseph Campbell who investigated this area scientifically. Sir James George Frazer The Golden Bough, 1922 is the grandaddy of research on the topic.

did God ever say that He has only a human form-human is destructible-is God also---? put it the other way-Divinity is there every where-in animals, sun,moon, air, water, earth, space,fire.-Intellectuals can understand that--others"Namasthe vaayo-TWam eva Prathyaksham Brahma Asi"-"Yo Apaam Aayadhanam vedha Aayadhanavan Bhavathi

Not really any harder to believe that people worship animals than to believe that people worship a god they have never seen.
