I would have to say the Greek and Roman religions of antiquity. They held that all the gods and goddesses were created through various acts of nature as were the creation of mortals.
Same-sex matings were also permitted and customary in ancient pagan cultures such as these.
They held that the various deities were attributed to various human affairs of this world as well as some natural occurrences yet these same deities were born of acts of nature.
Correct?
It would seem Mother Nature is the ultimate Creatrix of all the living. Fertility rites are strong in these old faiths.
Abrahamic monotheistic faiths often condemn many acts, of the flesh, which are natural.
Paganism of old seems accepting of what is earthly and natural: sexual permissiveness among other things. How and why Europeans traded paganism for Christianity is unclear. Christianity, Islam and Judaism condemn many earthly pleasures in the flesh which naturally feel so good to most people. Taking up the cross is like becoming a prisoner to a ball and chain.
