The religion could've changed because they had nature gods, but they needed gods for dancing, food, art, and other aspects for every day life. They could've converted the "Nature Gods" into dayly life gods with the aspects of nature included in the worships.

some of the gods were still connected to nature, they just had powers more relevant to the daily life of the greeks and romans. nature was still very important, but to evolve and grow as a civilization, they had to explore different aspects of their more advanced lifestyle.

I think the greeks and romans thought humans were very important and they felt more highly of themselves so they made their gods more human.

The religion could have also changed because different things were changing. The people were changing so, it was natural for their gods to change as well. Also, they needed gods for other things then just nature.

They changed their gods and goddesses to make them more human-like. They looked up to their dietes and it would be more easy to look up to them when they look like humans.

I think that the religion changed from worshipping nature because in the begginning they had nature gods because they used the nautre gods to help explain the weather and the found it easier to build everything on the gods and goddess of nature. And also when they changed rule they were under the influence to worship more human like gods, instead of more like animal gods.
