Is there a religion that believes that God is Earth itself?

I was on the train and this random thought creeped in.

Update:

What are your thoughts on the matter?

Update 2:

I was thinking more in the lines of...well, in a very simplistic fashion--the actual planet that we tread on. Not some spirit that resides in nature, but the earth as an entity, that shows its fury in storms and famine, or its nurture in its resources and its affirmation with a perfect day.

    Earth is our mother, sky is the father, air, water and fire our brothers. In Hindu mayth, earth is a goddess, and mother to all. As a mother nurtures her child, earth nurtures everything on this earth.

    Look up "Gaia"

    My thoughts are that it is theism, and therefor delusional.
