That is true, and that is why morality is something that is constantly being worked on, and usually by people who express their disdain about stuff, like working conditions, a living wage, voting rights, animal rights, etc.
While Bible contains some "morality" rules set in stone written thousands of years ago which no one can change.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
