Out of the many religions,
Can anyone tell me which one focuses a lot on nature?
Yet, without believing in a god. I think it's Buddhism, but I'm not sure.

Answer all the questions for your ideal belief system and in the end it will tell you the religions that match best. I'm an atheist but I have some pretty strong views about living an ethical life that made me answer some questions in a way that a hard-liner atheist might have answered differently. As a result, the "nontheist" answer was the #7 choice for me. Apparently there are six religions that are quite tolerant of my view that there is no god.

All religions have deities. Buddhism included(Buddhism is a polytheistic religion).
Taoism, Shinto, Geniism, Wicca, North American Aboriginal religions all focus on nature worship.
There **ARE** religions which atheists are able to follow without believing in, or worshipping the deities of. However, there is no such thing as a religion with gods.

Buddhism... Buddhism has no creator god and gives a central role to the doctrine of karma. The ‘four noble truths’ of Buddhism state that all existence is suffering, that the cause of suffering is desire, that freedom from suffering is nirvana, and that this is attained through the ‘eightfold’ path of ethical conduct, wisdom, and mental discipline (including meditation). There are two major traditions, Theravada and Mahayana.

Unitarian Universalism might be considered by some to be a "religion" which respects nature, but does not require belief in God or gods.

i agree very much with eclectic paganism, i choose eclectic Wicca, for me i think that there is a god and a goddess but that it doesn't fit to pick one, its better and more fair to believe they all had a part in it. that they each have a reason to create a part and that they are there in respect to that part. i don't think it could work with just a god, it has to be a god and goddess. as to which one or if any is entirely up to you.

although in hind sight i would recommend a study of druidism these people are renowned for their connection to nature.

there are many forms of druidry or druidcraft that do not require the belief in gods/goddesses.
historicaly druids were teachers/scholars. and educated people that were also regarded as judges in disputes...
many people today that would call themselves druid are actually new age pagans that fancy celtic gods.
druids did not really have to be religious at all. they were taught respect of the earth .

Eclectic Paganism.
As an Eclectic, you could choose to not believe in any Gods.
