1. I'd keep just "breaks."

2. I'd write, "According to a pantheistic view, nature is presented as living beings or gods."

3. I'd keep "driven" and "in which" -- but I don't understand what you mean by "derived by" ... ?

4. In place of "Also" I'd use "In addition, ... "

5. Yes, you need a "such as..." phrase at the end of the sentence.

6. Too many instances of "of" -- please rephrase this so there's only one "of."
