What religions put emphasis and power in the individuals?

[koi]

Many religions seem to tell followers what to do, how to do it, and what not to do. Also in many religions, the theme is to worship a higher power- to do everything for it and in it's name. To accept it (or submit and fear it) over yourself and over things you hold dear (family, life, possessions, etc).

In my opinion, those aspects are against what nature stands for.

Are there any religions that embrace everything humans are? Are there any that put emphasis and power into the individual instead of into a higher power?

Try Wicca.

This is what I have learned in my own faith.
We are loved by God and given power through grace to help and heal everyone. But because of sin and selfishness we push those powers behind us and believe we are powerless and hopeless.
