For most of the modern world morals shift over time.
This is a good thing.
By trying to adhere to the morals of a terrible past, religion causes all sorts of horror to be inflicted on the world.
look at Iran, Egypt, Indonesia or any fundamenalist country and you can see what I mean.
Secular societies are the ones with the best 'morals' precisely because they dont follow the teachings of raving mad preachers from 2000 or 1400 years ago.
Some muslims still think its ok to kill girls for the crime of being raped or for just being alone with a boy. Some even think its ok to keep sex slaves as it was mentioned in the koran and is not 'Haram'.
The catholic church has for millenia protected paedophiles and sex offending clergy as a matter of course.
Look just look a little and you can find all sorts of morally dubious things being done because of religion and its tendency to look to the past and not the future.

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
