Why did these monotheistic religions fight so fiercely to eradicate nature worship in the lands they controlled?

Once formed, a bud may remain for some time in a dormant condition, or it may form a shoot immediately. The buds of many woody plants, especially in temperate or cold climates, are protected by a covering of modified leaves called scales which tightly enclose the more delicate parts of the bud.
