This type of religion is known as Animism and most closely resembles my own spiritual beliefs. I've also been getting into Taoism lately as well, which completely jives with Animism. I believe in the interconnectedness of all things in the universe, but as far as a conscious higher being, pulling the puppet strings; no way José.
