Have you tried honestly asking yourself, whether you think you would be a worser person if you did not have a religious set of laws on morality to abide to? Bearing in mind as you said how much they differ in certain cases.
That might be a bad question to ask on my part as you'll probably answer yes lol. But the point i'm getting at as I said in my previous post is that through empathetic reasoning you can decide what is right or wrong to do without a God to give you a very brief and specific lesson on morality.
Is there any evidence to suggest as a species that we were more "immoral" centuries before abrahamic religions took there grip on countries? I don't think so, as there were religions before them who would have in my opinion advocated equally distastful teachings and laws.
Kind Regards,
