That literally comes from the age of kings, not only in the three major monotheisms but even in prior polytheism.
You can always find periods in every nation/religion in any religious history where the leaders and holy writings would reflect both either an authoritarian rule and compassionate rule, but back then, 2,000 years ago no part of the world was a completely authoritarian rule free world.
Even the Ancient Greeks and Romans were not family rule free. Some of their leaders were more tolerant than others, but it was still family/class rule.
Saudi Arabia is making an attempt to catch up with the times by allowing women to drive. But, in American history religion was used to deny women the right to vote.
Buddhism and Hinduism is no different. If you study their past, it would be false to claim they've always been the victim, even when rightfully pointing out Christian western dominionism.
You treat your fellow human being with empathy, yes, up and until they try to physically harm you. No religion in the world needed to state the obvious.
