Is there a religion that condones/promotes natural human inclinations?

It seems to me that most religions promote overcoming "the natural man," or human nature to seek a higher more perfect way of being. For example: most religions restrict diet, passion, envy, sexuality, pride, lying, and even evil speaking/thinking. There are a lot of obvious reasons for regulating yourself, but sometimes expressing your emotions can be a good thing. Sometimes bottling things up results in more damage. Is there a religion that idealizes the fact that we are human, we have human tendancies, and it's okay to act on them as long as we respect other people's dignity as humans also? Just interested.
