Given durkheim's consideration of "primitive" religion, the natural environment is revered in proportion to a society _

The correct response is seeing itself as connected to nature.

Explanation:

To social theorist Émile Durkheim, religion was a “unified system of beliefs and practices relative to sacred things." In his book on religious life, Durkheim used the example of the Australian aborigines because he believed their belief system represented an elementary form of religion.  Durkheim had two goals in his analysis of more basic or primitive religions. He wanted to establish that religion was not divinely or supernaturally inspired. Rather he wanted to demonstrate that religion was a social product. Religion acts as a source of solidarity and provides meaning for society members.
