Reading the Bible shows that "God" actually condones rape & murder.

True. I guess I was putting it mildly. My bad. Smile

In any event, my point is that religious-based "morality" usually involves more adherence to dogma, rituals or abstaining from loving someone with similar body parts. Not only is religion not helpful to understand morality (saying "GodWillsIt" isn't an explanation) but it's also counter productive for introducing rules that have nothing to do with morality and placing these rules above real consequential morality.
