Objective right and wrong can be reached, even if morality is subjective. Yes the bible does have clear views of what it deems right and wrong. You are allowed to own people. You are allowed to commit mass murder of non christians. Jesus commands you to love your neighbor as yourself, but also hate yourself. Above anything else you are commanded to love god, and good or bad actions take a back seat to that.
I don't think religion is being abused when people use it to justify violence, since it promotes violence. Even Jesus said it would be better to drown people than to allow them to lead someone away from christianity.
Are there some flaws with humanism? Yes. There are flaws with everything. Even as a christian nation we have admitted there are flaws in the bible, because we have criminalized things that the bible approves of.
