The difference is that church tells what they think you should be wanting, not how to achieve what you want.
Are you seriously suggesting that all atheist blogs just give how-to advice and don't take stances on moral issues?
I haven't read any atheist blogs but this is not what you were asking. You were saying "All people partially outsource their decision making process by seeking advice." and now when I have answered that you have moved the goal posts.

Generally yes.

Yes but not because organised religion pushed for acceptance of homosexuality but because others did. New churches, like any good business, are created to satisfy a niche in the market place.
