The belief that spirits fill the natural world is known as animism. This belief is present in many indigenous cultures around the world.
It is difficult to provide an exact number of followers of animism worldwide, as animism is a belief system that varies in practices and interpretations across different cultures and regions. Animism is often integrated into other spiritual traditions rather than being followed as a standalone religion, making it challenging to estimate the specific number of adherents.
